Was it their likely voter screens? I recall seeing a couple that predicted youth turnout at levels that seemed unrealistically low. Although that might not have been Michigan.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." --Noam Chomsky
I kept switching back and forth between them and CNN. CNN seemed much more objective and not as invested in the outcome. The MSNBC squad was weird. They were announcing hundreds of thousands of potential Hillary votes being still out when their own voter totals on the screen contradicted that. They completely glossed over Bernie's win. I'm not sure I'll ever tune them in for election coverage again.
Let me also say here that the person covering Bernie for them this entire time - Kasie?- has been God awful and like she can't wait to get off this beat. Very negative consistently.

I have to say, I've been quite impressed with the Young Turks' election coverage on the internet Just discovered them about 10 days ago. Now they've got me hooked. Fascinating discussions, completely off the cuff, all from a strong progressive viewpoint. Heh ... and they actually root for Bernie.
Wow, what a nail-biter in Michigan, eh? Soooooooo relieved that he pulled it off ...

MSNBC is not watchable any longer. It's 24 hours of Trump. I've been reading MSNBC’s effort to shed its reputation as a liberal platform. They have canceled Melissa Harry Perry and Alex Wagner. Hmmm. Joe Scarborough must be in charge. To think that Bernie won MI despite no mainstream coverage shows US is having it's own Arab Spring.
I wasn't even sure there was a Democratic Primary- wall-to-wall Republican coverage. Off to CNN then, and boy was that the right decision! Delicious listening to everyone stunned and giving their free establishment advice to Hillary... who you know is listening intently and recalibrating as we speak... not to mention the Rubio slugfest. Joy.
the Hillary side is all trash talk. I still haven't seen any rational reason for voting for her other than people think she'd do better in the general election.
but there is NO polling to back that up. It's just obvious. America is a center-right country. It's still the 90s. Come over and check out my snazzy new CD player, I'll rent some VHS tapes we can watch.

Clinton is running the best 90s campaign ever. Fighting the last war, as people are wont to do. It's not going to work.

ClickonDetroit.com just declared Bernie the winner

I wonder why the polls were so far off

everything that the establishment does is off
that's the point of all this. Bernie is exposing the lies, the constructed news, etc. Power to the people.
An idea is not responsible for who happens to be carrying it at the time. It stands or it falls on its own merits.
I love it

Some MSM pundits claim that Bernie just picked up
a lot of voters toward the end. If it's true, it's to his credit, IMO, considering he was down by more than 20% just days ago.
(The polls have been 'mostly' accurate this year, so I tend to believe that the vote shifted.)
Regardless, it's great news!

Michigan State University
Released a poll that said they were neck and neck. Nate Silver tweeted, why didn't anyone pay attention to the MSU poll?
I am so proud of Michigan for standing up and telling Hillery"hell no".
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
even the MSU poll had Hillary ahead by 5
must have been a solid youth vote today. Some polls thought it would be 70% 45 and older.
Well...
I did. And I did try to tell people about it on Twitter. Not my fault Nate Silver doesn't listen to me! LOL

MSNBC coverage was bizarrely horrible

The Young Turks ...

Yes
I also enjoyed watching them stream this evening.
Young Turks are great.
Solid coverage and analysis.
Also:
I love you Michigan.
Go Bernie.

MSNBC Cancels Liberal Hosts, Trump 24/7, and noticeably whiter

I stopped watching MSNBC....
I wasn't even sure there was a Democratic Primary- wall-to-wall Republican coverage. Off to CNN then, and boy was that the right decision! Delicious listening to everyone stunned and giving their free establishment advice to Hillary... who you know is listening intently and recalibrating as we speak... not to mention the Rubio slugfest.

Progressive to the bone.

Hillary’s inevitability lie: Why the media and party elites are rushing to nominate the weakest candidate
Markos knows that. That's why it wants it over ASAP
the Hillary side is all trash talk. I still haven't seen any rational reason for voting for her other than people think she'd do better in the general election.
They think she would do better in the general
but there is NO polling to back that up. It's just obvious. America is a center-right country. It's still the 90s. Come over and check out my snazzy new CD player, I'll rent some VHS tapes we can watch.

Yet SHE would do better in the General? That is just plain silly!
