Wait a minute. Their exit polls show double digit wins for both Sanders and Cruz...

.... but CNN won't project a winner?

They've been stringing me along for the last hour.... with the digital clock counting down in the corner of the screen.

We hit the 8 O'clock mark .... after suffering thru INCREDIBLY redundant ( and biased) talking -head reiterations of two or three points:
1. no matter HOW big Sanders win is it doesn't matter. Clinton is going to be nominated anyway. 2. Nobody likes Trump anymore, and he may be in big trouble. Even if he does well tonite.

Upshot: I'm sick of listening to these morons. Are we really to believe that they can't project a winner ... with their own exit polls showing double-digit spreads? Are we supposed to believe they are NOT trying to hang on to viewers for $$$ sake?

(This goes for MSNBC also, btw)

I don't believe it.

Maybe they wouldn't have lost their audience if they hadn't been so disgustingly biased.

Whatever.

For better or for worse, people get their information from the internet now. Even though there's tons of disinformation, it's still better than the KoolAid the major media outlets offer up daily.
