If I'm not mistaken, even the pledged delegates have a chance to push for that one.

So? The DNC can't dictate to the media. MineralMan Jun 2016 #1
But the DNC at least knows its own rules and history, lagomorph777 Jun 2016 #5
Yes, it does. MineralMan Jun 2016 #7
Of course they are, just more corporate media conglomeration propaganda/manipulation/brainwashing Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #2
I would think you would be on board with them ignoring pleas from the DNC. lol. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #3
The DNC establishment is BAAAD!!!! Oops, except when their pronouncements benefit Bernie stevenleser Jun 2016 #6

The DNC executive just asked for honesty when the corporate media presents delegate counts. imagine2015 Jun 2016 #10
But the fact is, they DO count. Not a chance any will change. Not a chance. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #4
Not a single one of those superdelegate votes count before the convention. Period. Case Closed. imagine2015 Jun 2016 #11
So you think any will change? Not a chance in hell, so may as well count them. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #27
Sure there is a chance. I can think of several scenarios wherein they would change. morningfog Jun 2016 #15

On the evening of June 7th, Clinton will surpass 2,3,84 delegates Tarc Jun 2016 #8
The corporate media can make any false or outrageous claim they want but that doesn't make it true. imagine2015 Jun 2016 #14
You still do not know what "contested" means Tarc Jun 2016 #18
Just like it was in 2008. Oh wait, everybody knew on June 3rd Obama was the nominee mythology Jun 2016 #20
Sure, but it would be mighty embarrassing for her to lose any of those supers after that call morningfog Jun 2016 #17
Defies all past primaries...that is the FACT beachbumbob Jun 2016 #12
"Hillary has won the nomination and be officially proclaimed June 7th" No need for a convention! imagine2015 Jun 2016 #16
There is always a convention. mythology Jun 2016 #21
She is proclaimed presumptive nominee beachbumbob Jun 2016 #25
rules do not apply to everyone equally. why expect other? hollysmom Jun 2016 #13
The corporate media conglomerates are also very selective in reporting on super-delegates, take Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #19
Not all endorsements are created equal mythology Jun 2016 #22
"Larger news" has nothing to do with corporate media conglomerate motivations in manipulating Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #24
You're right, Uncle Joe. Duval Jun 2016 #29
It's being done to influence low information voters in tv land. bkkyosemite Jun 2016 #26
