The Facebook bubble just popped

I watched CNN and it was so painful to watch them try to keep it exciting. They didn't want to call Florida for so long even after it became statically impossible for Clinton to make up the difference.

The sense I got is the sooner the conclusion is reached, the sooner people stop watching.

I think since 2000 the networks are super cautious about calling Florida in particular.

I remember Fox News doing something similar for one of the elections that Obama ended up winning, although I don't think it was Florida-specific.

I take this behavior as an example of motivated reasoning in action.
