It's 2000 all over again

Not in that it's close (though it looks like it will be). But in the US TV networks behaviour. Or at least one in particular. Fox News has a graphic on its home page showing each party's attempt to get to 270 electoral votes (see here)

A few minutes' ago, and I swear I am not making this up, they had three states going for Bush (coloured in yellow). They were Georgia, Kentucy and one other I can't remember. Bush had 34 electoral college votes on the finishing post graphic.

One minute ago only Georgia remained. Now they've all gone back to 'no result'. I assume it was someone testing the software.
