Sanders Wins West Virginia Primary (And No, It's Not Inconsequential)
'Regardless of what the mainstream media would like you to believe, these victories matter.'
by Jon Queally, staff writer
Though the mainstream and corporate media continue to push a narrative suggesting the race for Democratic nomination is essentially over, polling released in the last twenty-four hours shows that Sanders continues to do better nationally in a hypothetical general-election matchup against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Karli Wallace Thompson, a campaign manager for Democracy for America, an advocacy group backing Sanders' campaign, said Tuesday's win in West Virginia should not be downplayed.
"Regardless of what the mainstream media would like you to believe, these victories matter," said Thompson, "and not just because each win gets us closer to overtaking Hillary Clinton in the delegate count."

OP
These victories matter big time and they know it, that is why they try to bury them.
