The polls in the hands of the mainstream media is like a gun in the hands of a child — it's just not a good combination. The media keeps quoting from these polls to claim Hillary Clinton's inevitable win in the Democratic Primaries. Firstly, there is no such thing as a national primary. Secondly, the media themselves seems to have made a choice for the nominee and are ramming it down our throat. And thirdly, who the hell is the media to tell us, the Democratic party, who our nominee should be? Do they have some awesome insight that that makes them the arbiter of all things? And since when does the press get to decide anything? I thought that they were just supposed to report the news, not make it. And that's what they are doing when they keep quoting from these national polls over and over and over, claiming that Hillary is "so far ahead that no one could possibly catch up." ... Bullshit!
