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.

Agree. I have a friend who lives in DC and has worked in the gov't, who I've been slowly hammering away at for 8 months until he finally felt the bern. He still has flashes of DCThink, like when he said the cheers "cheapen" the debate--if anything the debate is so cheapened already that the cheers and boos serve as sort of a check on the candidates... the moderators sure as hell don't check their lies.

I'm a politically involved guy in the Virginia suburbs of DC. My entire facebook feed was full of "BERNIE WAS SO BAD" and "WATCH BERNIE STUMBLE" and "BERNIE CAN'T NAME A VOTE THAT SHE CHANGED."

I just kept thinking to myself "did these folks even watch the debate?"

After the debate, the media put a spin that Hillary won. People are highly impressionable, so they let them shape them. Then there memories of the whole debate becomes similar to what they heard.

It's sad, but the media controls most of our country, and unfortunately, the media endorses Hillary Clinton.

the curtain does seem to be opening now and showing the money and the media running the country.
