my latest—surprise! DC press suddenly awakens from 4-year slumber! pressrun.media/p/white-house-…
“The briefing room kerfuffle seems more like Beltway journalists frantically trying to find a way to ding the Biden White House — a way to show they're not part of the "liberal media" — by inventing conflicts where none exists.”
“News outlets collectively failed to defend themselves against Trump's purposeful onslaught of attacks and misinformation. Yet journalists become indignant over a minor process issue surrounding today’s White House briefings?”

zero decisions to be made

it’s right thing to do and polls show massive Covid relief Bill is hugely popular

Q is how badly does voting NO damage GOP
it's stunning how there's been virtually no media coverage re: political risks GOP faces over Covid bill.

it's all abt Dems.
It’s so engrained in media’s mind that GOP is super savvy

FFS there are two parties involved here. why does press always insist it’s **only** up to Dems to be “bipartisan”??
Dems need *zero* GOP votes, but it’s depicted like they’re the ones in tight spot???
GOP faces disaster if all 50 vote NO on massively popular Covid relief bill. but sure, Dems need to make a deal....

this is just nonsense CNN, Biden didn't run on the platform of "compromise"; he did not campaign on the idea that he'd immediately walk back his campaign promises in order to please GOP

"when the GOP rammed through a United States Supreme Court pick with just 50 Senate votes. Where was the media teeth gnashing then?"

would be nice if Politico mentioned GOP had **ten months** to negotiate a big Covid bill and for ten months the GOP told Dems to f**k off
Hmm, pass $1.9T relief bill in effort to save US economy, open schools, prevent local govt from going bankrupt

OR

not pass bill bc GOP might be “angry”
the funny part is DC press actually thinks the second one is real option

when you oversee the party that loses the House, WH, Senate, while yr President incites insurrectionist mob, and you *still* get feel-good coverage in the Post; washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/ronn…
she spent months endorsing claims the election was stolen. But hey, she’s just a complicated woman doing the best she can....
she refuses to condemn a Congresswoman who endorsed murdering Speaker of the House. but sure, let’s give McDanial a nice photo spread in the Style section

my latest—Beltway’s beloved narrative is a fraud; pressrun.media/p/memo-to-medi…
“the press remains committed to portraying the GOP as a mainstream, center-right entity. That's why it keeps botching the "reckoning" story”
“the Beltway press badly misread the insurrection story and assumed so-called responsible members of the GOP would do the right thing. The height of naïveté came when nameless McConnell aides started calling reporters and telling them that McConnell maybe supported impeachment.”
