The second claim is slightly misleading. Based on its usage in the first example, "called the election" would imply that media outlets literally projected Obama as the winner based on statistical extrapolations. Since the intent of the statement was rather to show that the media purportedly exhibit liberal bias, the wording should be something more along the lines of "various media outlets made statements that seemed to imply that the election of Obama was inevitable, when in reality it was very much in doubt." --[[User:Economist|Economist]] 22:37, 6 July 2009 (EDT) | The second claim is slightly misleading.

The second claim is slightly misleading. Based on its usage in the first example, "called the election" would imply that media outlets literally projected Obama as the winner based on statistical extrapolations. Since the intent of the statement was rather to show that the media purportedly exhibit liberal bias, the wording should be something more along the lines of "various media outlets made statements that seemed to imply that the election of Obama was inevitable, when in reality it was very much in doubt." --Economist 22:37, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
