Op-Ed article by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel of Committee of Concerned Journalists says election night, when networks made erroneous projections about who had won, was probably worst moment in 50-year history of television coverage of politics; says public should be troubled that press has become a player rather than an observer; says misleading coverage failed to report what actually happened; says networks' embarrassing performance can still produce good outcome if it leads to serious self-examination and appropriate changes; photo (M)
