my latest—biggest legislative story for last 12 months, and press kept getting it wrong; pressrun.media/p/bidens-covid…
“That’s a key reason the media screwed up Covid relief coverage for the last twelves months, constantly presenting a false picture of legislative negotiations, told through the prism of the GOP.”
“Republicans never supported a second Covid relief bill, yet the press spent the last year pretending otherwise — insisting that of course GOP leaders urgently wanted to aid struggling Americans, when there was little evidence that they did.”

great!

I’m glad every GOP House/Senate member voted no. it brings clarity
likely the most popular spending bill in US history (83%) and the entire GOP party voted no
good grief you’d think that would spark barrage of media coverage abt how out of touch GOP is w/ America

don’t hold yr breath

my latest—soft coverage for white insurrectionist; pressrun.media/p/60-minutes-p…
"The whole CBS segment had the unfortunate feeling of a rehabilitation effort, and specifically the national press using a sympathetic lens through which to view white, right-wing political criminals."
"Are these really the type of people we need to better understand, the people who deserve a national platform? Isn't it just giving a megaphone to an insurrectionist who wants to rebrand himself on the eve of his court date?"

ICYMI; pressrun.media/p/neera-tanden…
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 “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

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
