After discovering that Fox News had announced that Bush had won prematurely and that the other news agencies jumped aboard after Fox announced, Gore withdrew his concession speech because it was too close to call. In fact there was no possible way for the news stations to announce Bush the winner that night (he had less than a thousand votes more than Gore). This incredibly narrow margin required a recount or further investigation. Fox news later apologized for its error in announcing Bush the victor and other news agencies apologized for their reliance on Fox. The AP was the only major news source not to declare Bush the victor.
