The Tooth? You Can’t Handle the Tooth!Watching the 12-hour ordeal thebroadcast of the US election made my dentist a rich man: I wore down me chompers to mere pulpy-stubs from all the jaw grinding and gnashing I did.But I noticed something odd …. very odd indeed.Well, besides from the two things of:a) Seeing Peter Mansbridge’s lower jaw actually quiver as he almost cried on coast-to-coast television, andb) Hearing Peter Mansbridge utter the patented phrase of “Uh … Uh …” every third word. I wonder where he, an experienced and seasoned TV announcer, suddenly picked up that nasty habit? Who does he hang out with all the time?But the ultimate act of arrogant malfeasance is the documentable truth that theheinously lied to Canadians.And they did that by the act of omission.It was by the skin of their teeth that thewas hanging onto their Precipice of Fantasy for a Clinton victory.But Old Man Truth came along and kicked them in the mouth, sending them plunging into the Chomping Jaws of Reality.In a nutshell, therelentlessly displayed the incorrect numbers of seats won by each candidate … well, only one candidate really, until the very last bloody moment.As I scanned the various North American networks for their coverage of the US election, I noticed all the networks displayed the number of seats won by each candidate.Thedisplayed the number of seats won by Trump as 246.But every other network showed Trump had 276 seats.So I thought I’d check again in 10 minutes, because some networks aren’t as fast as the others for displaying the numbers due to “technical reasons”.So I checked again.The results displayed were still unchanged across the board.So I thought, “Hrmm … I’ll check again in an hour’s time”.And yet, thestill showed Trump had 246 seats to Clinton’s 218.But every other network is showing Trump has 276 seats.Now I’m thinking something doesn’t taste right here.Is theso incompetent they don’t know what the actual seat count is?Eventually thedoes catch up to the rest of the world by showing the correct message with the correct number of seats that Trump has. Heis now the President-Elect.But what took them sooooo long to do so?Are they in some kind of alternate Eastern Standard Time Zone?Is the late Rod Serling the man who’s pulling the strings there?Now I don’t have the skills to do it, but if you synchronize the “clock time” of all the networks coverage (as opposed to the “play time” length), you’ll start to have some grave doubts about theI’ve included theYouTube link for their coverage of the US election.And below that is a time stamp of each moment when the content changes.Don’t forget.While every other network in the world was showing the “correct” seats at the right time, theis somehow about 1-2 hours behind the other networks.Chew on that for a while, if you will.TheLivestream of the US ElectionMoments of MiseryTime: 9:48:20Count: T: 246 C: 218Message: 270 Electoral College votes needed to winLink: https://youtu.be/Mkb3oFIFAXc?t=35300 Time: 9:48:23Count: T: 246 C: 218Message: Donald Trump is President-ElectLink: https://youtu.be/Mkb3oFIFAXc?t=35303 Comment: But … but you just said he needs 270 votes to win.Time: 9:49:13Count: T: 256 C: 218Message: Donald Trump is President-ElectLink: https://youtu.be/Mkb3oFIFAXc?t=35353 Comment: Oh.
