Could someone please explain what is going on?

So the headlines broke early yesterday that Hillary made history by clinching the nomination.  Of course it was a ploy by the media.  More on that later.  This morning, the headlines are bristling with excitement as they proclaim that, as a result of the primaries, Hillary made history by clinching the nomination.  And yet, as of now, nothing has really changed:


She still needs the Super Delegates to make the numbers, which is no different than it was yesterday morning.

Is there something I'm missing?  I'm not saying there isn't.  Perhaps there is something, and I'd be willing to concede the point.  Otherwise, I have to believe that the ongoing mission to make America stupid has finally reached a milestone when headlines can read 'We've made history because 2+2=5, since yesterday 2+2 only equaled 5!!'  Please tell me there's something I'm missing in this last 48 hour news cycle to assuage my fears of living among a historically unprecedented level of stupidity.

  2. Heh. Tell me. It's not that the press has never been biased before. I've just never seen such a flagrant example of clear manipulation before.

  3. They have stopped bothering to hide it anymore. There is that line in the movie "The Usual Suspects", "The greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince the world he didn't exist". Have you noticed that the enemy isn't hiding anymore.

  5. Yeah, I don't know if we've passed the point of now return, but there seems to be a sizable portion of the US population that hopes we get there soon.
