CNN Ignored DNC's Request To Not Count Superdelegates Before They Vote

Cenk was recently on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” to argue that networks shouldn’t include superdelegates in their official totals until after they vote. Another person made the same exact same point on CNN a month prior: Luis Miranda, Communications Director of the DNC. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"And Wasserman Schultz has been clear, as evident from the video above, that the national news media must stop tallying and reporting “super-delegates”immediately.

“The way the media is reporting this is incorrect,” Wasserman Schultz told Rachel Maddow of MSNBC on February 20th. “There are not pledged delegates — or ‘super-delegates’ — earned at any of these caucus contests.”

She went on to note that super-delegates are “free to decide [who to vote for] anytime up until July,” and can change their mind at any time — one reason they can’t be reported as being conclusively attached to any particular candidate. “So combining them [the voted-on or ‘earned’ delegates and the super-delegates] at each phase of this contest is not an accurate picture of how this works,” she said.

“It’s really important to report these [super-delegates] in a completely different way,” she added, in the event her repeated admonitions on the topic had been unclear.

Yet the morning after Super Tuesday, CNN ran the inaccurate graphic below as a splash headline at the top of its homepage…”*
