Funny numbers at the Guardian

Last night, the big headline at the Guardian about Wisconsin was "Sanders Beats Clinton as Cruz Crushes Trump." You can still see it on their Election 2016 page now.

The funny thing is, it turned out Sanders beat Clinton by 13.4 points, whereas Cruz "crushed" Trump by 13.1 points. It seems to me that 13.4 is actually larger than 13.1!

Seriously, Sanders is like the Rodney Dangerfield of this election. He gets no respect (from the mainstream media).
