Did the mainstream media jump the gun when they declared Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee the day before six states held primary elections? Chris Hedges, host of the new show ‘On Contact’ joins RT’s Alex Mihailovich and says that the announcement had a “negative effect on the democratic process” and it was an attempt by the mainstream media to “marginalize and ridicule” the Bernie Sanders campaign.

A story released by The Associated Press reveals that Hillary Clinton’s campaign tries to control every “minute” detail about her appearances.

“So I’m curious to see if anyone brings up these things,” she continued.
