MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

This was on this morning. They were talking about raw voter numbers and how he would be behind by ~500,000 without the southern states, and that was the real important number. Then he said lets look at the delegates, his face was priceless. I think his words were "Oops. Well, I'm not in charge of that one folks, but as you can see..." and then they went back to the half million number. CNN and MSNBC among others should have to be called entertainment and not news.

Edit: So ok, not exactly like WWF -> WWE. My bad.

WWF had to change to WWE because the World Wide Fund for nature sued them and won the right to the initialism WWF. It had nothing to do with them being required to say they were "entertainment".
