Aside from your figures being pulled out of your butt, and you make believing that I watch watch Fox News, that doesnt answer the question.

Lets try again

The mainstream media is simply not accurately covering the race for delegates in the Republican contest for President. In fact, if you watch network news you would believe that the Republican contest is over. It is not.

I don't know which assertions you are referencing. However, that site is connected to Ben Swann. His accuracy in regard to reporting has been demonstrated.
It is simple. Once the process in each state is completed, only then is the number for "actual pledges" reported.
The AP/NEP numbers are all recycled. They are all the same media consortium, selling a "product". They tell you they are their own projections.

Don't fret none... Some of the people on here are being paid by some PAC to provide disinformation.

Hey according to some of the other paranoid delusional types we're being paid by the government to suppress the truth about things like chem trails. This is great, now can collect two pay checks for posting on here!

How about Jessie Benton, is he part of the evil mainstream media conspiracy?

"Unfortunately, barring something very unforeseen, our delegate total will not be strong enough to win the nomination. Governor Romney is now within 200 delegates of securing the party’s nod."

The last part that Benton stated is some of the mis-info to which I was referring. The campaign knew this wasn't true. This, in fact, was completely contrary to consistent communication and an isolated statement. He has apparently said some odd things previously, also at odd times.

Many people are asking similar questions. I listened to an interview he did and it was pretty strange. Not sure if he is deliberately being misleading or if he is incompetent. Might even be an intentional sabotage. His handling of interview questions, his written statements and manner are puzzling. He is apparently a "relative" by marriage so could be some dis-function there.

You don't have to investigate too hard to find that projections are what they are stating, which is different than actual delegate pledges.

I wouldn't call corporatism an "evil conspiracy", but some seem obsessed with the term conspiracy.
