Surprised..CNN has been having very good live coverage of WA

[senseandsensibility]

today. They are going live inside the caucuses and showing voters speaking to each other. On the other hand, every time I switched to MSNBC it was terror or trump.

1. CNN claimed Bernie needed 75% of remaining delegates

They conveniently forgot to mention the fact that this included SDs.

2. Of course!

Doing my best Cenk impersonation.

Convenient indeed!

[Land Shark]

3. Agreed and I've been watching it this afternoon

They still have Donna Brazile and others I'd say it is balanced coverage for a change

[PatrickforO]

4. I never, ever, ever thought I'd say this, but

lately when I want election news, I find myself going to CNN. Comcast has totally ruined MSNBC with its pro-TPP, anti-Bernie message.

5. let me know when they start covering Bernie's policy platform and maybe I'll watch.

6. CNN's coverage today is decent

John King just explained the race in hard-delegate counts; as well as super delegate counts.

King said that an impressive Bernie win in WA could help fuel momentum going into Wisconsin, and that subsequent wins could cause the super delegates to switch from Hillary to Bernie.

He said, "Hey, that's politics."

It's just nice to hear BOTH sides for a change--and cogent explanations that explain hard delegates and super delegates. King noted that super delegates can change their mind at any time during the primary process.

I would give their overall coverage a B+ throughout this election season. I don't even turn on MSNBC. Haven't watched it for more than a year. I do enjoy Bloomberg television. Halperin and Heileman's "With All Due Respect" has offered some of the best coverage this season.

7. They interviewed a guy in WA who was an independent who switched for Bernie.

He said Bernie has the best policies, he could still win, wuper delegates could flip just like 2008. He was great. After they went back to headquarters, Jake Tapper said, "It's surprising how much these voters know, how sophisticated they are."
They think we are idiots out here in tv-land. It surprises them that we are not.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. I heard that and wanted to metaphorically smack him

but having heard some reporters be all but sophisticated in the field

[CorkySt.Clair]

9. I saw that too

And thought the voter sounded like an irrational dolt, frankly.

[MFM008]

10. CNN was there

I saw them and the local news there.

11. Also, although they could never stop using their

panel of "experts," they change it up frequently with live reports from the caucuses. So much better than when I watched them a decade ago.
