The media as usual are giving too much emphasize on the protesters

The die hard Bernie supporters and others who are protesting. By and large this is a united party. Some of these protesters were not going to vote Democratic unless Bernie were the nominee anyhow. Also they are not in great numbers, but for the media it's all about how to help make a real horse race.

They're honest brokers as opposed to spin-meisters.

Changing channels, I saw Jake Tapper looking very concerned. One of the Wikileaks emails is from him to the DNC. Tapper was trying to get them to dish dirt on somebody, anybody. The DNC didn't bite. Wonder Tapper didn't cover his own email when he was gossipping, I mean reporting, about the "explosive email scandal"?
