Why did ABC, CBS, and NBC ignore MO vote?

If you watch these stations you don't know that Missouri overwhelmingly voted Tuesday that they would NOT participate in the Obama health insurance fiasco. It's a huge move and they just ignored it. Wonder why?

Update:

They didn't cover it. It was headline news on the cable stations. It's a HUGE move when 71% of voters say we don't want this!

    You'll notice that each network mentioned has a C, this signifies that it's a Communist news organization. Like the BBC, Britions Broadcasting Better Communism, MSNBC, same thing, CNN, there you go. Easy once you get the hang of it.

    Uh, they didn't ignore it

    ABC

    CBS

    NBC

    But i guess if you don't watch anything except Fox you wouldn't have seen that coverage. Add to the fact that 2/3's of the 'overwhelming' majority were Republican voters anyway, and the total only represented 23% of the total eligible voter population. And because there were no major Democratic contests up for vote, it was pretty much an assured win for the right.

    Oh, and because Federal Law supersedes State Law, if Health Care is upheld as constitutional, it won't matter anyway.

    I saw it this morning. So you are wrong they did not ignore it and they probably will have it in other shows. But, you know what MO does, is not as important to the rest of the states. There are other more important news. I do not live in MO so I don't know what their ballot say. I thought that this was a primary, to choose candidates. In our state there was noting in the ballot like that and we live in a Rep. state.

    Well as a Liberal Democrat I too think that is not fair .

    We may not agree on the issue but You do have a free right to be heard .

    BTW I do NOT support Mandatory Health INS though I do the public option ;so I feel sold out to big Medical Ins corporations.

    I don't watch the supposed "liberal media" or any other TV news, but I highly doubt this was completely ignored. How do you know that none of those stations never mentioned this? Were you watching TV all day long, multiple stations at once? If you are relying on Fox "News" for this type of information, I wouldn't trust it. They make "mistakes" way to often.

    i live in mo. The voter turn out was 21 percent. around 2 million voters, now consider that 70 percent vote for your bill. 11 percent of the people state wide. now if 60 to 70 percent state had come to vote against they might cover it

    Liberal media never acknowledges defeat unless they can throw some kind of "he shouted a racial epithet" crap, or something similar, in with it. A solid defeat of an issue liberals support with nothing else to besmirch the occasion would only promote the success of their opponents.

    Now, if they find a way to weasel the laws until they overthrow the massively popular vote, THEN it will make the news.

    They didn't. You are wrong.

    Funny, I wonder how I found out about it after watching those stations. Maybe I was reading someone's mind. Or maybe the newscaster actually talked about it.
