Everyone's Updated... Except Fox

Hmm, Lets look back in time to the evening of Nov. 4th 2008 around 11:55 p.m. EST. Here we see some of the major news outlets displaying the Electoral Votes, as they come in.

Notice how every one of the below news outlets had the correct McCain count (155/156). Then look at the websites again, everyone is updated on Obama's count too.... that is, except Fox News.

While all of the news outlets had the correct count of 338 electoral votes, Fox News had Obama only listed with 297 votes. That's 41 votes short while McCain's count was up-to-date.

I have noticed a little bit of the same with the UK media. Though the majority seems to lean somewhat to the left, there is a few newpapers or organizations that lean slightly to the right. When determining bias, it sort of depends on who your getting your information from.
