...when the news organizations are the ones inventing the news to the point they can't even keep their stories straight.
  • AP "calls" it for Obama as of today's delegate allocation, acting on the assumption that he'll be getting most of the uncommitted delegates (those appointed for other candidates from primaries earlier in the race that have since dropped out) as well as enough super-delegates
  • AP says Hillary's camp has made motions to concede
  • Reuters reports that Hillary's camp insists she is NOT going to concede
  • Even since that report, AP continues to report only their version of the story
  • vast majority of the public are so sick of this they really don't give a shit anymore
  • neither news organization is making any mention of the fact from the previous line

The degree to which the superdelegate race has been the same as sports "fans" picking their World Series favorite in September has, at times, really digusted me.

You sure as hell can't win a dime off the Kentucky Derby by backing the winning horse the day after the race...
