CNN has % for Republican primaries, but removed the % that they always have so Biden can be spared having a sizable % vote uncommitted right next to his name.

The current front page of the CNN website has both number of votes and percentage of votes for Trump, Haley, Biden, and Democratic Uncommitted in the Michigan primary elections.

If CNN's plan was to hide the percentage of people who voted 'Uncommitted' in the Michigan Democratic Primary so as to save Old Joe embarrassment, why didn't they do so on the front page?

Dude, I just clicked on your link and it shows the candidates and the uncommitted and the %'s and number of votes.

Deep breaths, it's still over 8 months to the election you better pace yourself.

P.S. May still have time to delete thread?

I clicked on the link and it shows percentage for the republicans (along with raw numbers) but only raw numbers but no percentage for the Democrats.

Just another trick the msm uses to minimize the truth. There omissions are just as tell as what that actually report on.

There's a reason that CNN is averaging 500,000 viewers in primetime......or just slightly behind The Hallmark Channel.

I just clicked on the same link and CURRENTLY that is indeed what it is showing.

When I last posted it was not showing that.

Clearly, CNA has differ graphics and information and either changed it over the last few days or screwed up and had it pointing to different sections.

Another possibility is that they have different versions for different US zones but that seems like a lot of effort for a flat broke network working off a shoestring.

Just keep in mind folks CNN has clearly had an agenda at times and topics. That said we also can't rule out incompetance and slashed staffing which is an industry wide issue.

My first post here was a half an hour before yours and it showed exactly what the OP said.

I believe that when you clicked it was different though.

I vote that the reason is CNN is incompetent.
