The truth is this is what you would expect. The oligarch controlled media wants everyone to believe that she's already won - especially on the day of the actual voting in CA where the race is so close. She has been anointed. There is no denying that she has more votes but the secret super delegates were secretly consulted by the major media outlets in secret. How fitting for a democratic process.
Now you will see them downplay Bernie's contribution so as to make it seem that their agenda is the only one that matters. Of course, they have enforced that vision on the public. It is just another way of quashing dissent.

Oh hey!! Di'ja know that The Donald is the one who "broke the glass ceiling?" Yes sire!! I have great respect for women,” Trump explained in all seriousness. “I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women more than anybody in the construction industry. And my relationship, I think, is going to end up being very good with women.” Linky Dinky Wow! Hiring women to do jobs! In the eighties? That is bonkers! This is like the time he so progressively allowed black people and Jewish people to join his Mar-a-lago Club as early as the 1990s!

Whooooo boy. Election 2016 keeps getting weirder and weirder. House Speaker Paul Ryan Tuesday issued a strong condemnation of Donald Trump’s racist remarks about a federal judge, then immediately said that of course he still plans to vote for the guy making racist remarks - because that's what people with principles do! And, because The Donald isn’t Hillary Clinton, duh.

Oh my stars and bless his heart! Did the confirmed bachelor gentleman senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham just suggest that if you love America, you will vote for Hillary? Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another former primary rival of Mr. Trump’s, urged Republicans who have backed Mr. Trump to rescind their endorsements, citing the remarks about Judge Curiel and Mr. Trump’s expression of doubt on Sunday that a Muslim judge could remain neutral in the same lawsuit, given Mr. Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country. “This is the most un-American thing from a politiciansince Joe McCarthy,” Mr. Graham said. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.” Linky Dinky , Big Swede, you heard the man! You Republicans better start showing your love for America by #Undorsing Trump and supporting Hillary. The rest of you Republicans who hate America, you may carry on supporting Trump.

With the Puerto Rico and Virgin Island results in, plus some uncommitted super delegates who committed, she actually has more elected and pledged delegates than she needs to win on the first ballot of the convention. The reporting is legitimate, if unfortunate. (Because it could suppress the voting today.)
But will it really suppress the vote? Most of California primary voting is by mail, so quite a bit of it is already done. She had to hit the top sometime, and it would have been today if not yesterday.

Most of California primary voting is by mail... Pshaw! Oregon is 100% via mail. And! You automatically get registered when you get a driver's license: This new law will make voter registration automatic, shifting from an opt-in process to an opt-out process. Take that red states that make you jump through hoops to register to vote!

Just a slightly different topic, who do you think President Clinton should propose for the Supreme Court? She may owe Merrick Garland something for helping deliver the Senate, but she would be under no obligation to renominate him.
I think she should go for Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth actually has a fantastic legal and academic background, most citations in some legal areas, books published, etc. She is 66, though that is not all that old by Supreme Court standards.
Obama might be interested too. Taft was President and then later Chief Justice, so there is precedence. I think it would be great to watch all the heads explode, too.

Leave Lizzy alone. She wants nothing to do with upper government management and she does a fine job irritating the Banking Industry in her current position.
