1) I don’t usually focus on print smears but I’ll make an exception for this NBC awful article by Julia Jester and Gary Grumbach. 
2) “But the 78-year old Vermont senator is less formidable this time, with polls in early states and beyond showing his status as a top-tier candidate at risk.”
in reality there have only been a few post debate polls and they are pictured below and Harris X is Only partial

3) "Sanders' polling numbers, which had begun to slip in recent months as Warren picked up steam, showed a steeper plunge after news of his heart attack was revealed”
4) that was at the end of Sept. before his health issues tho, so let’s look at how they reacted to his health scare By looking at each poll after his health issues.
quinnipiac: he went from 16 pre to 16 again after the heart scare (they’ve since released another poll)

Fox News: he went from 18 to 17
YouGov: he went from 13 to 14
Consult: he went from 19 to 19
Reuters: he went from 15 to 16
harris Hill: he went from 16 to 17
Harris X weekly: he went from 13 to 15 (now is at 16 btw)

6) Literally the only poll that showed Bernie going down at any point since his health scare was the latest Quinnipiac poll, which just so happens to be the only poll they talk about on tv, as it’s the only poll that lends to the media narrative that warren is The frontrunner and
7) Bernie is sliding. It’s an outlier poll, with numbers so outlandish in the demo breakdowns that I even question the polls legitimacy in terms of the actual numbers even before you get into poll weighting issues.
8) so there’s been about 12 national polls, and only the one questionable Quinnipiac poll has shown any slippage of more than a point. But let’s go on with the article
9) “A national poll shows Warren and Biden in a tight race at the top with 30 percent and 27 percent, respectively, with Sanders a distant third, with 11 percent.”
as I mentioned above, this is the Q poll and they cherry picked the one poll out of 12 and only mentioned it

10) “Those clashes have been especially apparent in New Hampshire ... where the latest state polling has him in third place, trailing Warren and Biden by double digits even before his health scare.
already have a hint this is a lie as they say latest and before his health scare
already have a hint this is a lie as they say latest and before his health scare
11) The latest New Hampshire polls aren’t from before his health scare, they are from after it and the latest poll is from Boston Herald and show Warren at 25, Biden at 24, and Bernie at 22 all within the margin of error for the lead, a far cry from down double digits
12) "A recent Des Moines Register poll found Sanders in third in the state, again behind Warren and Biden. A post-heart attack poll of 18 early states through Super Tuesday on March 3 showed similar results."
here’s where the hackery really is taken up a notc.

13) That “post-heart attack poll of 18 Early states" had specific numbers for Iowa and showed a statistical 3 way tie for the lead with Warren and Biden at 22 and Bernie at 21. The fact they brought up that poll and didn’t use the Iowa numbers because it showed Bernie doing well
14) shows that this isn’t a piece of journalism but rather propaganda. Btw one of the early states CBS/YouGov didn’t show numbers for was Nevada, a state that had Bernie in the lead last time and broke Kornacki’s brain.
15) Finally, “Current and former Sanders aides acknowledge Warren has outpaced them, both in driving a message and in campaign organization in early states”.
the vaunted unnamed source saying Bernie is being out organized. Bernie has the most volunteers/donations/cash on hand.
