1. quick thread on press adopting GOP talking points under the guise of news; pressrun.media/p/sorry-new-yo…
2. this "Dems block" coverage was a classic example of how the Beltway press too often embraces and eagerly absorbs Republican rhetoric, especially when Republicans hit the Phony Outrage button.
3. GOP getting zero Dem support wasn't "blocking," it was a complete failure of leadership from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose job it is to make sure he has votes to pass bills, esp in times of a national crisis.
Thankfully, some news outlets stayed away from "Dems block"

- "Senate's trillion-dollar coronavirus stimulus bill hits speed bump" (Axios)
- "Coronavirus relief bill slows in U.S. Senate, talks continue" (Reuters)
- "Senate showdown over pandemic relief stalls" (ABC News)
