What will the narrative be

If Bernie gets 67% today and wins the delegate haul for the weekend, something we were told would be impossible because of Louisiana and because they just like the sling bullshit around.

As an aside. My home paper, the Providence Journal? 17 words about the wins yesterday. The rest was all Cruz. It is owned by a company that distributes 97 other daily papers. Yet they call us conspiracy theorists when we bring it up.

B) It'll be dismissed, because Hillary won Super Tuesday, and C) Hillary still has a LARGE overall lead.

Those are my predictions for the coverage, even if Bernie were to win 100% of the Maine delegates.

Let's face it, there will NEVER be a time when the media covers this race objectively. Post Bernie-blackout, they switched over to coverage that mimics many blog postings, attacking Bernie over things he's far less complicit in than Hillary, while giving her a complete pass.

At least on my local ABC news channel. They just had a few clips from the debate (Bernie was good!) and then after they casually mentioned that Bernie won 2 out of three states on Saturday, NOT A WORD! about Maine. Only that hillary was ahead in the polls.

I want the damn fairness doctrine reinstated!

And then something about how Chelsea has already picked up 6,723.9 super delegates for the 2024 primary, so nobody else better think about running.
