USA Today - Left / CNN - Right
Politicians like to blame the media for their own failures, but this complaint has more validity than others. As the 2016 primary election season has moved forward, I've have consistently seen Hillary Clinton's delegate status listed with a substantial lead. The problem is, when USA Today gives us the delegate count, they include the pledged super-delegates. They don't indicate that a good portion of those votes are unbound, meaning they could and probably would switch to Bernie Sanders, if he started winning the majority of the primary vote. This is media manipulation at it's very best. Also notice the Republican delegate status from BBC. Why is Kaisich even included? I know when I screenshot this, he was still in the race, but he certainly doesn't have a large portion of delegates, not compared to Ted Cruz. Why not include Ted Cruz's delegates in the chart?
