The international news media proclaimed the Israeli elections too close to call; some said Netanyahu was trailing. But Netanyahu won -- the Likud Party led comfortably and it appears certain that Netanyahu will be able to put together a solid coalition. So, how -- and maybe the question is WHY -- did the news organizations get it so wrong? Was it honest miscalculation or wishful thinking? (Fun fact: this article has had two headlines. Tuesday night: "Israel election: No clear winner, exit polls suggest." Wednesday night: "Israel election: Netanyahu's Likud storms to victory.") (BBC)
