Considering CNN's unwillingness to face the facts (100% of all counties reporting btw), it seems another one of their creeds doesn't hold up well against facts.

With the proportional assignment of delegates, I wish there wasn't an emphasis on who won what state, its ridiculous in the first place.

Now, my objection to "winning states" having been noted, if we're using wins, then a win is a win. When does a win stop being a win and start being a tie?

Michigan was a small victory for Bernie, but covered as a crushing blow to Hillary. Hillary with an even narrower win here, but its not a tie. Not if we're using the win is a win standard. If the networks weren't throttling the language like that, this would be over and they'd lose out of a lot of ad-dollars. Gotta keep this thing going into June, right?
