Deadline.com DNC Day 4 Ratings Headline Bashes Democrats Again

Yesterday, Deadline.com were the only ones reporting the DNC ratings lower than the RNC.

Today they are not reporting the DNC was lower rated than the RNC, instead they say the DNC this year was lower than the DNC back when Obama was running for office:

In both cases, they use an intentionally negative headline about the DNC.

I would not take these numbers too seriously until an unbiased source reports the numbers. If they are reporting "even" then it could be a Clinton blowout based on their report yesterday.
