Plus, if that is the one glaring example then I guess I would say "big deal" or "who cares". It has no impact on the election or issues. Being totally unbiased I would say that the decimation of the Bloc and rise of the NDP were bigger stories anyway...or at least more unexpected. I think that there were a lot of story lines that night (with every single party making history one way or another) so it's pretty hard to nitpick over how many times they covered each one.

Yeah, they ran down a list of 50 or so ridings that were within 100 votes with only a handful of reporting from each, so it makes sense that they didn't call it until they were actually over regardless. IIRC they had 165 on screen by the time they called it.
