The MSM and the Vote Count
Sorry folks but it's time for some additional venting!...Please someone (okay, I will) tell the MSM that the Democratic super delegates are officially uncommitted and therefore are not firmly in the possession of either candidate. In their apparent eagerness to ordain Ms. Clinton as the standard bearer of the Party, our friends at the major networks (MSNBC being the most galling!) insist upon listing the count as inclusive of the yet to be pledged super delegates. This is not only a misrepresentation of the facts but also potentially manipulative in terms of discouraging prospective voters in future primaries from coming to the polls thinking that the election is all but decided and their voting is therefore a meaningless exercise. Fortunately, the Sanders supporters have largely ignored the pronouncements from MSM and continue to defy the 'experts' by coming out in droves to will their candidate to one upset victory after the other. Unlike the pundit class, the people realize and are making it abundantly clear that this election is not over!!
