Hillary’s win downgraded to 9%, not 10%. The news media can’t do math.

Why should it matter? A win is a win is a win isn’t it? It just that all the talking heads said she had to win by 10% or more to continue. The media wants this farce to go on. What would they have to talk about if it ended? Real news? I’ve heard CNN referred to as CRAP NOT NEWS, but how could we refer to NBC, CBS, and ABC who all did the same sloppy math?
