Accuracy in reporting, update 1

With 60% of precincts reporting, Sanders got 33.2% of the first vote, 39.3% of the final vote, 46.0% of C.C.D.s (county convention delegates). I notice NPR didn't give actual voter percentages, just C.C.D. numbers

The Guardian is announcing the percentage of precincts reporting and the percent of votes by leading candidates in their headline.
Currently at 23.32% reporting, Bernie at 47%.
While other "news" sources were claiming Bernie had a majority when 4% of precincts had reported.
They would be less open to attacks on their credibility if they were more concerned with accuracy than click bait headlines
