‘Just a coincidence’! Identical media spin on Dems blocking coronavirus relief bill shows that ‘the talking points are in’ – twitchy.com

As we told you earlier, the Senate Democrats used the filibuster to block debate on a new coronavirus relief package. But as you might have imagined, “Democrats block another round of economic relief for suffering Americans” wasn’t going to be the predominant headline in MSM stories.

After Senate Dems blocked the bill, @RedSteeze noticed a trend developing:

Check out the narratives being woven and spun. It's incredible to witness the level of dishonesty.

Now watch the rubes line up to deflect, whatabout, and stick their Trump voodoo dolls.

Twitchy - Media Bias/Fact Check

Overall, we rate Twitchy Right Biased based on story selection that always favors the Right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of Twitter sources that frequently post false information.

"Failed to advance" must be the magic mushroom of the day the dems fed all of the MSM ...

I swear, all of the media receives a memo from the dems every morning informing them which phrase or word to use for that day. No media is allowed to use their own headline or description of an event/story.

Talking about total control of the media by the dems. :lol:

This is a pretty insane claim. It's like claiming the media got together after the O.J. Simpson trial when all the headlines read,

'Not Guilty'

They are all mindlessly parroting the same talking points again?
Kinda hard to miss when they all use the same words and verbiage as each other.

This isn't new. It was done before.
Sounds like JournoList is back up and running, but perhaps in another form?

Not even close. :lol:

There aren't many ways to say "Not Guilty", however, there are plenty of ways to describe when something didn't happen.

Nobody in the MSM could think of a different way to describe "failed to advance" ... they all had to use an identical phrase?!?

:lamo

MSM have become political mouthpieces, activists, and candidate PR machines; the media arm and extension of a political party.

Just look at how they attack Trump and work to embarrass, hurt, or humiliate the president and his family any way they can.

The American people will reject hate and re-elect Trump by a landslide. <- Put that in your sig <-Include that bit

The president doesn’t need help from the media to embarrass or humiliate himself. Nice try.

Twitchy didn't write the tweets on the failed coronavirus relief bill, they just compiled them.

Don't be so scared ... click on the link. :lol:

It's sad when someone thinks tweets are a substitute for , well, actual news.

They actually are ... when they're posted by ...

NYT
CNN
CNBC
Politico
WaPo

I consider those tweets advertisements to point to the actual news stories. The tweets are not a substitute for news, although it might attempt to advertise the actual stories.

So ... they all used the identical wording for their advertisement. Makes one wonder who gave all of them the one and only "Failed to advance" billboard ... :lol:

Democrats are the media. If a democrat says 'anything', it is beyond reproach and the subject is closed. If a republican says 'anything', it is fact-checked by a media spin machine that will attack it from every angle imaginable. At least be honest about it. Even the leftist folks on this board know this is a fact, own it. Be proud! Look what you have created! If I had that sort of power I would tell everyone about it...lol. Why you folks would deny and defend what is so amazingly obvious is beyond me.
