Not seeing this reported at all. But I watched Bernie nominate Hillary (gave up his delegate votes to make it unanimous) and then bolt for the exit. Seemed strange to me. He was actually leading a walkout! Media hasn't reported it at all yet.
Video evidence:
Go to 1:50. He's just made it unanimous. Then about ten seconds later heads for the door:

1:50 here. "We followed Bernie's lead and we followed him out."

There's a live stream from a delegate that stayed showing how empty the place is after the Bernie delegates that left hit the exit. Not sure how to add that here.
Now we find out from NBC today that "hundreds" walked out.
That's a pretty HUGE story: hundreds of delegates to a convention walk out in the middle of it.
In fact, had it been the RNC the ABC, NBC, CBS, even Fox would have talked about nothing else the rest of the night. They would have cut away constantly to the rogue delegates protesting outside.
Instead, it was barely covered at all. First real story about it is hours later.
Feel free to add evidence of the walkout and stories on it in this thread.
NBC story that “hundreds” walked out. Why was this not covered as it happened?
Did the MSM know it was going to happen and make a decision jointly not to inform the American people?
The story from Politico (DNC approved) says “more than a hundred” ... but the title of the story says hundreds!

4700+ delegates and nearly as many alternates, not mention others on the floor. A few hundred walking out wouldn’t be a huge scene.
It will probably get more attention as MSM realizes what happened. Or it could be stonewalled as not important enough.
F Sanders and F HRC.
In my world they would be tried (briefly ) and then led to a wall. Not Trump’s wall
Look at the guy. Here he is. Showing the place EMPTIED.
Read that story above.
Sanders delegates told they would be ARRESTED if they flashed Bernie signs!
So there is a source claiming that THOUSANDS walked out?
Having been to national conventions, such a shot would be pretty typical after a featured speechas people need a break, and Dems aren’t nearly as respectful and patient as Republicans.
yea brilliant strategy... no one cares— they should have stayed and booed.. that is the only thing that the media can not ignore-—
Breitbart still messed that Bernie led the walkout:
TIME story on the walkout:
http://time.com/4425475/dnc-bernie-sanders-protest-walkout-convention/
And this:
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — On a night that was supposed to be about Democrats unifying behind Hillary Clinton as the official presidential nominee, Bernie Sanders supporters decided they would not go quietly into the night.
Angry over allegations of widespread voter fraud and orders to stay quiet during Tuesday night’s proceedings, an estimated 1,800 hard-core Sanders voters staged a spontaneous walkout Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Many said they felt disrespected and silenced.
Wearing “Black Lives Matter” tape over their mouths and holding pro-Sanders signs, they headed for the media tent adjacent to the Wells Fargo Arena where the roll call of states had just happened.

More footage from the scene:

Might have this been done to clear the DNC of the rowdiest booing NeverHillary folks?
Were the seats inside the DNC filled back up with ‘standby’ people? Do we have more shots of the crowd post walkout?
Police inside the DNC threatening to ARREST delegates for displaying signs of the candidate they were ELECTED to represent.
Has that ever happened at any convention?
I’d throw them over Trump’s wall.
This looks like 100 or so, but there might be multiple exits and not sure when they started filming:
Bernie supporters having their signs CONFISCATED:

Here’s another group walking out as a DNC operative tries to spin it:

Sanders supporters voting Trump!
They are trying to ridicule young voters into sticking with Hillary:
A delegate who stayed showing how EMPTY it is:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=673_1469593905
“The entire California delegation is gone.... This is not voter enthusiasm... This is amazing.”
maybe, maybe not, the other night when Sarah Silverman was being booed very loudly, she was angry at being on the receiving end. Hot mic revealed "...well, they can take care of in post...", meaning post production of video - careful video edit, sound edits. So if one did not watch live, the msm versions will prove it never happened, moving on....memory hole.
If you watched the Trump rallies you know that they focused tightly on Trump solely, no crowd overhead shots or pans. Trump called them on this repeated during every rally and boldly challenged them to pan and pullout shots. And the crowds respondly loudly.
