Not the first time this sort of thing has happened, won't be the last:

Quote from our own cited source:

"On election night, this earlier press deadline required the first post-
election issue of the Tribune to go to press before states had reported
most of the results from the polling places."

The first three words above are key here. This was merely an innocent
example of a newspaper attempting to get a scoop in advance of its rivals
when under extreme time pressure. They took a chance, made a guess and it
turned out to be the wrong one. Same thing happened with Time magazine's
embarrassing "Madam President" front page splash showing Hillary Clinton
as having beaten Donald Trump. Another innocent mistake from jumping the
gun.
The 'Pennsylvania Incident' bears no such comparison. Those figures
(purportedly *precise* figures, mind) were accidentally released a whole
week in advance of the election day - let alone the date any such result
might become available subsequently!
Really, you need to get a life that doesn't involve being a WEF
stooge.
