Networks

In this article from TIME http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/25/election.night.tm/index.html , they claim that the networks are trying hard to get the results of the election right, even if that means not first. That would be nice to believe, however I can't see a network that has the possibility to claim victory, though tenuously, avoiding it. They want ratings, and ratings won't disappear if people think they might be wrong, people want to know who might be winning.
