but that's about it. It actually scares me that people don't seem to understand the difference between these online polls and scientific ones.

Bernie having the most Google searches and garnering the most social media follows ARE quantitative and he kicked her butt in all those things, too.

How about OBJECTIVE?

Are not focus groups an 'objective' measure?
Bernie won in focus group reporting.

Hillary on the other hand only 'won'
according to the editors and pundits.
And we all know pundits lie out both sides
of their faces.

Hillary 'won' by absolutely ZERO measures

Hillary has no objective measures
that show she won.

All she has are some two-faced pundits
and editors saying she won.

However, you have to admit the media has gone way overboard on the stupid email crap.. even Bernie would agree with that.

sure, some of the union leaders and boards of directors have endorsed Hillary, but the rank-and-file workers are largely behind Bernie. This election is not Republican versus Democrat. It's oligarchy versus people. And MSM is part of the oligarchy

So they quietly hid the evidence
of his drubbing of Hillary.

Had it gone the other way it would
have been trumpeted as PROOF
that Hillary is The One, fully backed
by the editors and pundits headlines.

As others have noted, the fawning over
Hillary was all too generic and lacked substance.
Almost like it was written before the debate
