 The gubernatorial debate was advertised by Sinclair Broadcasting's Pensacola TV station WEAR as being on at 8pm when it was actually on at 7pm on our local PBS station.

WEAR TV's Greg Newman reported on their 5pm broadcast yesterday that the debate would be airing at 8pm. That wasn't a lie but they failed to mention that was eastern time from Broward County and here it was on at 7pm in Northwest Florida.
I contacted them about 10 minutes before 7pm and recommended they run a ticker at bottom of the screen. They did not.
I went back to look at the story they ran, on their web site, and instead of putting in a new story admitting to their error with a correction, they changed the story that was already posted. The story is linked to a story about Nelson/ Harris debate and the tail end of story they have the information about the gubernatorial debate with the incorrect time implied.
Now the title for the same story mentions the time the debate was on and the changed it in the story and made no mention of their mistake.
They did this to cover their mistake, if it was a mistake. My personal feeling is that they support Republican Charlie Crist and did not wantDemocrat Jim Davis to get exposure ,so they manipulated the information. I can't prove that, but I know they manipulated the web site information.
