Prof. KRUGMAN: Here we are. Published by AP in November 2001, the National Opinion Research group, they looked at statewide counts under six standards, prevailing standard, two-corner standard, most conclusive, least conclusive, county by county, Palm Beach standard, and under every one of those Gore won.
Mr. O'REILLY: OK. Look, if you want to think that, fine. Prof. KRUGMAN: Hey, guys ...(unintelligible), Russerts... Mr. O'REILLY: All right? Now I'll--hold it, hold it, hold it. Prof. KRUGMAN: ...you can check this out. Mr. O'REILLY: You can check this out. Prof. KRUGMAN: You can get--do it by Google. RUSSERT: But Moore has said every... Mr. O'REILLY: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I gotta get this in. RUSSERT: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me just... Mr. O'REILLY: Miami Herald, Orlando Sentinel, USA Today and the University of Chicago investigation all went in and repudiate what he just read. Prof. KRUGMAN: This is not true. Mr. O'REILLY: Four--yes, it is. Prof. KRUGMAN: Not true. I mean, again, folks, this is the modern world. You can go check it. I remember these statements from the show, and found them in a transcript. So, I did a google, and this is what I found. CNN Article "The Miami Herald and USA Today conducted a comprehensive review of 64,248 "undercounted" ballots in Florida's 67 counties that ended last month. Their count showed that Bush's razor-thin margin of 537 votes -- certified in December by the Florida Secretary of State's office -- would have tripled to 1,665 votes if counted according to standards advocated by his Democratic rival, former Vice President Al Gore. " -QUOTE FROM CNN ARTICLE Transcript -May not be a good source, but best I could find. Am I missing something? Why would KRUGMAN ask us to google to prove Oreilly wrong when his statement were correct? I find it difficult to believe that anyone in the news business is that dumb. Maybe they are bickering over Semantics and fine line details of the discussion, but Oreilly was right about those 4 saying Bush won. |
