“Limbaugh coverage needs to be upfront and honest about the damage his career has done to this country and to the democratic process — the vile degradation of our public discourse.”
“This week, the press is glossing over the substance of Limbaugh's regrettable career. CNN described him as simply a "conservative talk show radio host" and a "Republican icon.”
1. quick thread on Covid relief bill updates this week adn how the press completely botched this story for month, desperately framing it as Dems vs. GOP. pressrun.media/p/both-sides-t…
2. McConnell conceded yesterday **he does not want Senate to vote on a relief bill** bc so many GOP members oppose it.
this has been the case for months! but press pretended Pelosi was standing in way of a deal.
3. press wanted a Both Sides story to decry "gridlock" and "dysfunction."
there is no Covid relief bill bc **GOP does not want a Covid relief bill**
this is not a complicated story, but press botched it over and over
