14. I doubt that, but here's the problem I have and it comes down to how they wrote the story

When Sanders leads Clinton in NH, they say:

In the Democratic race, Sanders is ahead of Clinton by four points among likely primary voters, 50 percent to 46 percent, which is within the margin of error of plus-minus 4.8 percentage points. O'Malley is at 1 percent.


and for Iowa:

On the Democratic side, frontrunner Hillary Clinton holds just a three-point lead among likely voters over Bernie Sanders, 48 percent to 45 percent, while Martin O'Malley gets 5 percent.


What is that but clear bias -- listing that one is leading within the margin while not mentioning the same statistic in the other case when it certainly applies.

This is what gets people fed up with the M$M, because if you're paying attention it is so very obvious.
