15 Seconds?!

Wow......Global Television in Ontario just shot their load.

15 seconds after the polls closed, Global projected a Liberal Majority.

They're basing this on exit polls.

Meanwhile, everyone else is waiting for the real results come in before they make any statements.

Why do some news agencies feel it's better to be first then being accurate?

Just a thought.

Global is still slow...CHCH was all but calling a Liberal majority last night, before the first polling station opened.

CHCH? Isn't that "E!" now?

Yes, having watched CBC's coverage, it seems to me as if Global jumped not just one gun but a regiment's worth of personal artillery!
