MSNBC So Deceptive Hillary did not WIN 1202 Delegates

They are showing on the lower half of their screen that Hillary won 1202 delegates and Bernie won 500+. So deceptive. They think that those watching are stupid. They then explain after they state this and Bernie's that the super delegates are included but by that time (on the bottom of the screen) it's in the head of the low info voters that Hillary is hundreds ahead. Sick of them. Tweety is a whole other story. Cheaters!

1. I don't recall superdelegates ever being reported that way in past elections.

Strikes me as voter suppression. They are trying to convince Bernie voters to abandon the process.

It makes no difference whatsoever. Maybe a small subset of a small percentage needs to take a Prozac when watching the superdelegates included but everyone pretty much knows the difference.

10. The average American gets their news from TV, which inherently makes them low-information voters

and biased toward establishment candidates.

The Comcast-owned MSNBC apparently supports Trump first, Hillary second, and has little airtime for Bernie.
