From WNYC in New York, this is ON the media.
I'm Brooke Gladstone.

I think our guys got this.
I had a physical reaction.
My head snapped back and I thought, our guy?
Who's our guy?
Fox News now projects George W.
Bush the winner in Florida and thus it appears, the winner of the presidency of the United States.

And it turns out that your analyst there was the cousin of George Bush.
I would tell people, they'd ask, what do you do?
I work for Fox News.
And they say, oh man, Fox.
I love Fox.
That's all I watch.
And I would say to them, don't do that to your brain.
