Should we start a thread of people in the media that do not believe in democracy?

Meaning people that think Bernie should drop out now:
even tho not all the states have voted?
even tho Hillary needs 681 more *pledged* delegates to win the Dem nomination & therefore is not the nominee?

I'm thinking it would be a good idea to keep track of the names of the people that are on the news; pundits; radio personalities; and people that write - whether in newspapers or legitimate online newsites (like politico vs someone's blog).

We're electing a President. This is not a game, or a horse race.
They should be held accountable.

I'll start.

perhaps we're better off making a list of people in the media who DO believe in democracy, at least that won't tax the server
