A Mexican newspaper has brushed aside the upcoming elections in America by printing today’s papers with the headline ‘OBAMA WINS’.
I realize that some of you are too young to remember the last time the mainstream media jumped the gun and incorrectly predicted the outcome of the presidential elections.
So I took the liberty of posting the famous photo of president Truman holding a copy of the Chicago Daily Tribune which boldly announced the wrong winner of the 1948 US presidential elections.
It seems the Chicago Daily Trib staff based their prediction on exit polls (lol). I guess they figured who needs election results when polls are so accurate?
The Chicago Daily Tribune newspaper could never live down that embarrassment and the paper went out of business shortly thereafter.
I heard John McCain’s staff has already purchased several copies of the Mexican newspaper. Will history repeat itself?
