Online readers SCORTCH unbelievably biased New York Times headline, article [View all]

These are the top rated comments...notice how many recommends!

Coverage is still bad but looking at comments, the Times headline and reporting used to be even Worse before updating this online, after exposed by readers...

The third one just smashes the Times: "So Bernie wins two of three tonight, and I get a headline that Clinton wins Louisiana with a picture of her? Is it not bad enough that the DNC wants this whole race in the bag for Mrs. Clinton? Must your paper do the same? I'm not even a registered Democrat, but please make an effort at fairer coverage."

Please stop saying that Clinton has a huge lead in delegates. Superdelegates don't matter that much right now. Clinton is not that far ahead in pledged delegates. Sanders has a good chance!! Stop misleading people

More background we need to share these more specifics with people in ALL comment sections of websites, newspapers, blogs are:

Super delegate votes have not even been cast..that is a fact, not some "opinon" by Sanders supporters but the actual reality and the other fact is they can change who they vote for, and it does not have to be for who they are currently "pledged" to...

That's exactly what happened in 2008, many super delegates "pledged to Hillary Clinton" lo and behold, changed and cast their votes for Obama if, or when, they saw their districts, their states popular vote of us regular people, going to Obama.

Debbie a vlogger on youtube called The Sane Progressive on YT has spoken about how it's misleading when the media is Reporting Un-cast Super Delegate Votes as if they are final..


We need to spread this info to the uninformed, undecided, and even those currenetly supporting Clinton because of the myth of "Sanders can't win"

Shane Ryan has an article on some online magazine (Pastemagazine)about this misleading math for super-delegates. http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/02/after-sanders-big-win-in-new-hampshire-establishme.html

The Times should report only the delegates that are written in stone: the Regular" ones not the "super-delegates" Benie was ahead of Clinton by that count, the only count that is final, when I checked a week ago..

At the very least, the Times should stop calling Clinton the "Front-runner" and give two counts: one Without the (un-cast, not yet final, and can later be changed) super-delegates, and one with.
