1. @thehill continues to launder spin from corporate lobbyists as "reporting"

Corporate lobbyists are eager to resume donations to Republican objectors because that's how they buy access

@thehill 2. But the idea that corporations themselves are trying to "rebuild bridges with GOP objectors" is based entirely on spin from corporate lobbyists

@thehill 3. Previously, @thehill reported that the corporate funding freeze on GOP objectors had "largely ended" even though corporate PAC donations to GOP objectors are down by 2/3rds and 79 major corporations have maintained a total freeze

4. This kind of fact-free reporting is grossly irresponsible. Corporate lobbyists are trying to create the impression that all corporations have already started donating to objectors so its easier to convince the ones that haven't to start.

5. If you want the actual facts, we've done the work.

It involved looking at thousands of FEC filings over the last four years.

It did not involve asking corporate lobbyists about their hopes and dreams
