Funny you should mention that. I just left the ticker section of CNN.com where I was commenting on a ticker 'news' piece about Hillary supporters 'booing' Obama's post-primary speech. I know it's a ticker item, but honestly this woman just overcame around a 10% (including margin of error) deficit (which itself probably swayed voters one way or another) to win the state by 2%. Instead of reporting on the Obama speech or how he lost New Hampshire after the entire race was declared 'his to lose', they decide to report on Hillary's supporters booing Obama. It truly is disgusting what the media chooses to report and how they slant it. Even for Obama supporters, I think that if this is a sign of voters not buying into spoon-fed media rhetoric then we can all take hope.
