> The issue is it was clear Clinton was winning before the race was over based on polling, superdelegates, and what states were remaining.
And the reason for that was because she was heavily pushed as the candidate by CNN, MSNBC, etc while the same media ignored Sanders. That it only became clear later that this media had relations with the Clinton campaign and DNC beyond just the personal biases of pundits is cause for concern IMO.

No way, the media knew the Clintons? I mean she just came out of nowhere!
These sort of private discussion are totally reasonable for an organization like the DNC to have before the primary was 100% over cause they could see the writing on the wall. I didn't read every leak or anything like that but what I did see was mostly of this nature. This of course pissed off Sanders supporters (the point of the leak in the first place) but it really wasn't that bad imo.
The Brazile thing was though and I'm amazed she's not hiding in a cave somewhere in disgrace.
