(751 posts)I have no issue if she says Clinton has won 10 pledged delegates and has support of 5 super delegates from state a for total of 15.
Combining the two is blatantly false because one is pledged (they have to vote for Clinton) while the other can change at anytime. it's like saying Clinton has won 100 delegates in states that that voted + she is expected to get 50% from the remaining states (based on polling) so I will say she has won 100+200 delegates for total of 300 delegates, but I will only tell the viewers she has won 300 delegates this weekend.
Just blatantly false. This is not an opinion. It's factual, and there is no need for deception. It aint like Bernie is only down 5-10 delegates. He is down 200 delegates. That is huge. My frustration is less about the coverage for Bernie, but how corporate media is blatantly pushing an agenda, that Maddow is carrying water for. I swear if she was on non corporate medium, there is no way she puts up that graphic.
