Fox News calls the election for John McCain, urges Obama to concede
November 2, 2008 by William K. Wolfrum
LOS ANGELES (Monday, Nov. 3, 2008) — According to Fox News, John McCain is the next President of the United States. The news channel has said that its pre-election exit polls, analysis of future votes and research from journalists like Sean Hannity and Britt Hume has shown that McCain now has an insurmountable lead and will win at least 297 electoral votes.
“Having crunched the numbers numerous times, we are confident to say that John Sidney McCain will be the next President of the United States,” said Hume. “While Sen. Barack Obama has run an historic campaign, there is no way he will be able to come back and its time to usher in an era of change.”
Despite the fact that Obama holds a double-digit lead in several national polls and leads in a majority of states heading to the general election, Hannity said his research has proven that the polls are outdated, overtly liberal and have little basis in reality.
“Bill Ayers,” said Hannity. “Bill Ayers.”
Australian Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, said that it was vital for Obama to concede the race and accept his loss to avoid putting U.S. democracy in danger and to avoid possible violence come Tuesday, when most Americans will actually vote.
“While Obama has run a strong campaign, what we have seen is that Americans have made a choice against socialist extremism and have voted overwhelmingly for McCain this coming Tuesday,” said Murdoch. “We have always been correct when calling the winners of Presidential elections and we strongly urge Obama to concede prior to Tuesday to ensure that his supporters don’t go to polling places and eventually riot. Obama must do what’s good for the nation and concede.”
Hannity, who has been conducting independent polls for several months, agreed that Obama must concede the election prior to Tuesday and that President-elect McCain was a deserved winner and, along with Sarah Palin as the vice-president-elect, would not just balance the budget, but also win the War on Terror and War on Drugs within his first term.
“Bill Ayers. Socialism,” said Hannity. “Barack Obama. Bill Ayers. Black.”
According to inside sources, CBS, NBC and ABC will soon also call the election for McCain to avoid being scooped by Fox News.

[...] Why is the U.S. economy in such bad shape with two ongoing wars, an expensive-yet-mediocre health care system and a crappy health care system? Because of intellectually dishonest radical right-wingers like Sean Hannity who care much more about lying for their candidate than they care for the United States. [...]
[...] 12:03 p.m.: Britt Hume is concerned about the ramifications of calling an election too early. Seriously. [...]
