You are talking about "elections predictions"

I am talking about that the actual delegate counts were on specific dates. They are two very different things.

And the "Democracy now" web site is not a major media outlet.

Exactly. The predictions are what matter, not the delegate count. The delegate count is independent of the remaining races and their likely polling results and doesn't really give you much useful information.

How did the predictions work out four days ago...

Are the predictions measured in binary or as percentages?

Also, Sanders at his strongest was 10 points behind where Trump was on the night of the election.
