    What's the deal with these news agencies that still won't call the last 3 or 4 states

    NBC and FOX are a fuggin joke. CNN, CBS other major newspapers etc. have already called every state except NH which is incredibly tight like 900 votes and Michigan which is semi tight, a couple thousand. But for some reason FOX and NBC still haven't called states like Arizona and Minnesota, even though the other media outlets have and the leads are substantial. The only reason it matters is cause some books say in the fine print that 3 major news agencies must certify results before bets are graded and on the list is FOX and NBC. These shill news agencies are just jamming up futures winners and props for people. Wtf? Are they just gonna wait until Thanksgiving before calling the last 4 states or what? Results are 99% in everywhere.

    they don't want people switching off their tv's which they probably would have if they called them sooner. viewership ratings are more important than the election to them

    After being EMBARRASSED by their polls, their pre-debate question scandal, the exposed bias and having to fire the face of their network in one instance the news outlets will error on the side of accuracy and caution. After all, who wants to call MN for HRC when Dakota County, very red, hasn't reported (+70000 for Romney in 12). Just covering their torched asses.

    Seriously who on here lives in Arizona or Michigan? Somebody check in. Do you guys have mail in only ballots or something? This is ridiculous how long those two states are taking. Neither one is even close. Trump won both but I can't get it graded until NBC or FOX makes it official cause I need 3 major news agencies and so far only CBS and CNN it called for Trump, still need 1 more. What are they waiting on? Some places have New Hampshire called for Hillary already and that was by far the closest states of any, like only 1000 votes difference.
