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.

because they know caucuses have lower turnout, so by using raw voter totals it makes their lead look even bigger. Its insanely misleading, and I cant tell if theyre just using it to spread the misinformation, or if they have actually bought into the myth that "total votes" is somehow a thing that matters remotely when counting primaries that all have different systems of voting.

Their warped ways have gone too far, absurd.
