While Pat Nolan was talking about Gracie Porter's lead in east Nashville's District 5 race, the map had District 5 in west Nashville's District 1. District 1 was put where District 3 is in far north Davidson; and the map mislabeled District 5 as District 3. If that weren't bad enough, Districts 2 and 6 were flipped on NewsChannel5's map.
There I was ready to talk about how great their coverage is and 5+ cannot even manage to get their own local school districts labeled correctly. If they cannot call the districts correctly, how can I be sure that they're calling the races correctly?
Oh I am so glad you figured that out and explained it to me. Because I had been just glancing at their online map -- similarly screwed up -- and I had only looked at my own number. I couldn't figure out how my East Nashville neighborhood fit into the map in what they had labeled as 5 -- the Whites Creek area as far as I can tell. But now that you point out that it's actually District 1, it makes lots more sense. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, for a second I was trying to figure out how I got to vote for District 2 when I live in (according to Channel 5) District 6.
