it’s “bipartisan” bc 83% of Americans support it including 70% Republicans
this isn’t rocket science
the Dem Covid relief bill is likely the most popular spending bill in US history

and yes, it’s 70% support from GOP voters

Manchin becomes first senator in US history to vote down **a nominee from own party for being too partisan,** and Beltway press nods like it makes total sense
“But the Beltway press doesn't want to dwell on prejudice. Anxious to turn the Tanden story into a process one, the news media stress the Biden White House is to blame for the possibly failed nominee; for “miscalculating.””

it’s not a “myth” it’s a lie

why do newsrooms debase themselves this way when covering GOP? nytimes.com/2021/02/27/us/…
but @maureendowd and @maggieNYT say liberals just don’t understand how journalism works
Big Foot is a myth

stolen election is a lie told relentlessly by one our two major political parties, backed by a billion dollar right-wing media industry

would be nice if press would stop being afraid of its own shadow when covering GOP

bc of her tweets

so pathetic
sexism is a helluva drug

if you think Manchin would ever try to block senior govt position bc a man’s tweets were too “partisan” I’ve got news for you
it’s entirely possible Manchin doing this bc he knows there’s at least 1 GOP for her

it’s still pathetic, tho

“At a time when the press is demanding Beltway "unity," Biden is actually producing it by championing a fervently, almost historically, popular piece of legislation.”

the GOP watches from sidelines

"The coverage needs to be upfront and honest about the damage Limbaugh's career has done to this country and to the democratic process — the vile degradation of our public discourse. "
"It needs to be transparent about the endless litany of lies and heartless smears Limbaugh has gleefully trafficked in for decades, as he stuffed his pockets with millions and wallowed in the misfortune of others. "

my latest—why did this take 4 years?
pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
“Marty Baron has been executive editor for one of the most influential news outlets in America, so why did the paper fail to be "more forthright" about Trump's lies? “
“Why did the Post on the one hand employ an aggressive team of fact-checkers to document the thousands of Trump lies, but then refuse to call them "lies"?

That's not journalism.”
