Lying to the people

'Barack Obama is leading the popular vote in the Democratic race'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7363109.stm

I know because I watch US TV news that this is wrong. But as soon as I started Googling I discovered that despite the fact that Hilary Clinton has been leading the popular vote count for many weeks, many news outlets are saying the OPPOSITE.

Makes me laugh. If the news isn't what we want, we'll just lie...

Clinton 15,241,657
Obama 14,961,724

Its not enormous, thats true, but even if she was one vote ahead, saying she was behind would be a lie. Now why would all the big news orgs want to lie in favour of Barack Obama? Are the rubes turning out to be dumber than they thought? Those dumbasses need to be led by the nose AND lied to so they vote the correct way.

All of these stories are flat-out lies:
