        They can print these kinds of "Studies" because the people who promote them know it would take too long to fact check them.

        @Harvard Causal arrow much? Does the press influence/manipulate perception or does it only reflect what the candidates are?

        @Harvard So saying Sanders is behind 500 supers and has no chance every time they speak of him was not negative?

        @Harvard if this is the same study i saw earlier, they count any mention of her email as negative. Obviously skews things.
