A media company endorsing a candidate is not illegal. It is done all the time. And Hillary had a lot of them wanting her to be president.
Bernie has some too, but not as many as Hillary.
Unless votes were changed or people were denied the right to vote the DNC primary wasn't rigged.
Thinking there is a law for the private media companies that force them to be fair is not correct. And them favoring a candidate is not against the law.
"It's not illegal"
See? You're making excuses, again. Exactly like I said: They did it that way BECAUSE it's not obvious and can be excused by those who don't care if the reality of the situation is Bernie got screwed by an organized effort by those further to the right than him.
Ok. I hope you vote in every election, even if the primaries are "rigged".
