...second humiliating time. (In fact, the networks were shown up by new technology: Gore retracted after aides noticed the narrower margin on the Web.) Says Fox News vice president John Moody, "The call of Florida for Gore was not a mistake, it was a miscalculation"--a matter of incorrect data. "The call for Bush was not a miscalculation, it was a mistake. We did it without being sure."

Thus, while this is inappropriate, it doesn...
...feminists "who were offended, justifiably, by the way he [Bellow] depicted women in his novels." That "justifiably" skates over an extremely complex and contentious issue.
