What a deal for Democrats: They get to hold the economy for ransom, and the media blithely cover for them.
On Thursday, Senate Democrats nixed
a simple but urgent request to boost cash in the emergency small
business loan program Congress set up this month from $350 billion to
$600 billion.
------------------------
And the press proceeded to cover for them. A CNN headline, at first,
correctly summed the story: “Democrats block a GOP-led funding boost for
small business aid program.” The New York Times had a similar take.
Minutes later, CNN moved to obscure Dem culpability with new wording:
“Senate at stalemate over more COVID-19 aid.” The Times did likewise.
These left-leaning outlets don’t even care that their covering for
Dems is so blatant. The Times took heat just this month for changing a
headline, “Democrats Block Action” on the $2.2 trillion rescue plan, to
“Partisan Divide Threatens Deal.” Yet that didn’t stop Thursday’s
changeroo.
No wonder Dems are so willing to resort to blackmail: They can count on their puppets in the press never to report it that way.
