I just emailed NPR [View all]

I wanted them to know how disappointed I was with their newscast during All Things Considered where the anchor reported that Hillary Clinton needed just 23 delegates to "clinch" the Democratic nomination for President. I pointed out that they were counting super delegates who could not cast a vote until the convention in July and that just because super delegate says they support one candidate or another, they can, and often do, change their minds prior to voting.
I told them that they were effectively suppressing the vote by leading voters in states that haven't yet had their primary to believe that there was no point in voting since the nominee has been decided.

I know that my one email to one news organization means nothing...but if everyone would email all the news outlets who are spreading this misinformation - it might have some small impact.
