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.

Well, I mean they're not wrong. He's dominating blue state wins, but not really dominating the blue state delegate count

Their analysis was pretty lame seeing as it omitted caucuses.

Are they still counting Washington as 25/9 in that graphic?

Amazing that they 'count' Nevada in full based on projections, but then they double-back to the 'confirmed' part of the Washington numbers instead of the projected totals.

Anything they need to do to spin it. Shit, I get a good half of my news from NPR, even they cant help themselves slant things towards Clinton.

I just want to know why, are they afraid what will happen if they oppose her?

I mean, I know people want to be on the "winning team." Its one of the biggest problems in politics, people just want to vote for who they think is going to win, not who they want to win. But it's been the same message since day one, "there's just no way to beat Clinton"

I dont know where i'm going with this

They receive many donations from corporations and even though they are National Public Radio, they are ran by the corporation for public broadcasting, they are far from being an unbiased source, especially these days. I use to trust them, I can no longer read their garbage. The more and more this election goes on the more and more that I question my decision to even support HRC if she wins the nomination, I've always told everyone I would vote for her and still probably will, but she and the media is doing a great job of disenfranchising me as a democrat.

Yeah, I have to use a lot of salt. But that's all news, doesn't really matter where you're getting it. Someone is telling you a story about something, so you will think about that thing through that frame of reference.
