when Pelosi went on CNN in Oct to say exactly this, Wolf Blitzer started yelling at her why wouldn’t she accept WH relief plan—a WH relief plan that had zero GOP Senate support
ie. it was never going to be voted on in GOP Senate and *Pelosi* from the House was to blame
in 9 mos, I’ve never seen a CNN host yell at a Republican abt blocking Covid relief

too many Dem leaders still view the press as being on 'their side' and trust it do the right thing, when so clearly they are not.

instead, press feeds of GOP talking points all the time. 2/
but it's too easy to overlook the fact GOP benefits from billion-dollar $$, right-wing media messaging machine that does its dirty work 24/7

top-rated cable TV 'news.' 8 out of top 10 hits on FB every day. virtually every AM talk radio station in US. newsletters, mags etc 3/

*millions* are doing this

Trump and GOP gave up!!
NBC runs 10 Covid articles in special news package, *not one* abt Trump’s deliberate, criminal negligence
media astonished at how bad US pandemic is—Trump plays no role, apparently
