With a clever catch phrase like that, they've definitely got my trust! Who knew you could make "information" plural??

And that's not even close to the dumbest thing on that page, as the piece itself was easily the stupidest thing I've seen all month.

What does that even mean? You would think someone trying to break into the world of journalism would have a basic grasp of English grammar. Their motto is just world salad.

Spend enough time on DU and you'll see a couple of other "journalists" with no writing ability and a horrible grasp of the English language doing lots of pontificating about things they clearly do not understand. Luckily for them, there is every bit as much interest in their "writings" as there is in their opinion, which is to say, precious little of either.

"The Sanders movement has become impervious to reality. Some have even called into question the nature of reality itself: “Bernie Sanders’ ‘political revolution’ is political only inasmuch as thought is political,” a self-described “metamodernist creative writer” named Seth Abramson wrote in the Huffington Post a few days ago. “By the very nature of things—we might call it perceptual entropy—the impossible, once perceived, enters a chain of causation whose natural conclusion is realization.” By this logic, Abramson reasons, Sanders is actually winning. It’s, like, the Matrix, man, or something."

And if you believe, like so many Clinton supporters and media analysts do, that polls are equivalent to votes, then the margin of error for Hillary Clinton’s 54%-46% pledged-delegate lead over Bernie Sanders is, at least normatively, 10.6% —meaning that Sanders may actually be ahead by as many as 2.6% in the pledged delegate count. If the pledged delegate vote — or let’s say “poll,” as again, per the media, what’s the difference, really? — is really inaccurate, Sanders might be up by as many as 5 or 6 points on Clinton, in which case she has little chance of leading in pledged delegates even if she performs very well on June 7th.

But wait! It gets better.

A few weeks ago, John King of CNN told his viewers that if Sanders performed exceedingly well in Indiana, West Virginia, Oregon, and Kentucky — which he did, winning the first three and drawing in the fourth — and then ran the table or nearly so on June 7th, “many” superdelegates would switch their allegiance and the media would capture that sea change and report on it.

Except King was lying.

We know this because the major networks have recently announced that they will “call” the Democratic primary for Clinton — declare her its “winner,” say she’s clinched the nomination, or whatever parlance equates to those terms — without first polling the superdelegates post-California.

In fact, they’ll release their poll hours before California has tallied any votes.

It's possible, though very unlikely, that he gets bailed out by events outside the race, but he has definitely lost the race itself.

One of its main points is that unless Bernie concedes - Hillary must last the full race (without any black swan or black finch events).

The media can call it clinched, clenched and clunched for the presumptuous nominee before the California polls close, but the stupordelegates' ultimate decision may depend on ramifications of the California result!
