Yahoo News headline reads, "Barack Obama easily beats John McCain and becomes the first black U.S. president."
In the age of political correctness when most white people want to refer to black people as African American, it is ironic that the headline describes Barack as "black," rather than African American, when Barack is one of the few people who really is African American (mother being American and father being African), but who isn't black, but rather, bi-racial.
My other rant for the political day is all of the major networks who like to call things a fact when they are not yet fact. They are supposed to be news journalists working for these networks, yet all I heard last night was the journalists saying that McCain had won this state, or Obama had won that state, when in actuality, at the time they were reporting, the fine print on the TV stated that 0% or 1% of the voting results were in for that particular state. They were basing what sounded like fact, on exit polling.
