ha! Manchin walked away from 6 mos of negotiations re: landmark $2T deal because of an “uncivil” WH statement (which wasn’t uncivil)??

how abt this: Manchin was always going to be a No
there’s no point in overthinking this
it’s amaze what gets tagged as “uncivil” from Dem WH following aft 4 yrs of sociopath in Oval Office
Biden side-eyes someone the pearls are clutched

NYT is so awful…the “horrible” quote comes from a Republican, of course. nytimes.com/2021/12/18/us/…
landmark Covid relief passed, landmark infrastructure passed

two bills GOP failed to enact during all of 2020 — they made no serious attempt to even pass them!

but sure, it was “horrible” Congressional year
and oh yeah, Biden approval after 1 yr is 15 pts higher than where Trump was

but yes, just “horrible” yr for Dems

my latest—funny how that works; pressrun.media/p/surprise-pre…
“It’s clear that following the election, conservatives and journalists came to the exact same conclusion at the exact same time about CRT.  That’s because journalists spent most of this year simply regurgitating right-wing lies.”
“This whole chapter represents a textbook example of how every Beltway news cycle starts with the very simple premise: What are Republicans angry about today?”

bingo
what good is access if….
as I mentioned last week, has a WH press corps ever missed more news in real time than the Trump WH press corps?

my latest—the press shrugs; pressrun.media/p/slow-walking…
“The coup blueprint still has not appeared on the front page of a single major American newspaper, nor has any influential editorial page weighed in. Republican members of Congress have not been repeatedly pressed to explain the document”
“We’re learning about it slowly and reluctantly by the Beltway press, which instead of touting the PowerPoint as a smoking gun that reveals the GOP’s proudly anti-democratic ways, is treating the demented proposal as an oddity that doesn’t require much attention.”

of course, no mention here abt what role the press has played doing the GOP’s bidding for last two months by trashing the economy; nytimes.com/2021/12/10/bus…
Biden just magically has a messaging problem re: economy, media’s hysterical. relentless coverage isn’t a factor
when US jobless claims fell to 52-yr low this week, NYT covered it w/ one paragraph in a story shoved inside the biz section

but gee, why don’t Americans think the economy is doing ok?

this is as bad and dumb as you think it is
NYT: gee, why do Americans think economy is bad?

could it be bc NYT ran 130+ inflation stories last month?
more here on the Biden Boom that the press refuses to acknowledge; pressrun.media/p/new-poll-con…
