There is policy & procedural fight right now between 267 Democrats in Congress VERSUS 3 Democrats & All Republicans in Congress. Biden policy is super popular, would provide desperately necessary investment in infrastructure & American people as we come out of plague & recession.
In ideal world media would focus on the policy, explain to US what it means to invest in clean infrastructure, to provide basic social saftey net for hard working Americans, how the cost is offset by tax increases on rich & future growth. But, media is not interested in policy.
Media is interested in the fight! But, they completely misclassify the fight as ideological schism in Democratic Party when it is 267 to 3! And, 2 of the 3 are non-ideological egomaniacal power-hungry arsonists, the other a West Virginia senator who lives on a yacht!
In short: mainstream media avoids the policy because it is super popular & necessary, but they (rich, corporate media) don't support it. And, so they focus on the fight over passage, but completely misrepresent fight to glorify "centrist" "bipartisan" "moderates" who don't exist.
