It was CNN’s Chris Cillizza who famously tweeted that, for the billionth time, reporters don’t take a side. As Twitchy reported, CNN’s Brian Stelter showed that’s not true in his framing of the budget battle, tweeting that the leader of the Democrats was “trying to pass a bill to strengthen the social safety net” while the leader of the Republicans was questioning the 2020 election in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.
CNN’s John Harwood is the network’s White House correspondent, which means he’s supposed to be one of the straight news guys at the network. However, his bias has long been apparent, and on Thursday he laid out the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Democrats are struggling, with bare majorities, for ways to use the federal govt to address climate change and help struggling families with health care, child care, education and housing
Republicans are showing again their opposition to using the federal govt for those purposes

We learned earlier from the White House’s “Life of Linda” that government is the only daddy you’ll ever need — poor dad didn’t even make an appearance in the story of Linda’s life.
DNC spokesman at it again.

Was this a bought and paid for message from the DNC? Or are you just bucking for a job with the Demos? https://t.co/me8JtSHCZz

Wait, let me try …
Democrats are struggling, with bare majorities, and circumventing long-standing legislative norms, to try and spike energy prices, feed inflation, create mass dependency, crushing debt, and undermine entrepreneurship!

They let this guy moderate Republican debates once!
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) October 28, 2021
Yes, they did. Great choice.
And you wonder why we objected to you as "moderator" of a debate? Nothing about this is moderate, measured, or balanced. It's insulting when you pretend otherwise.

Remember everyone, Republicans allowed this hack to moderate a Presidential debate. Unbelievable.

"I am an absolute turnip who thinks that opposition to means is the same as opposition to ends."
It's incredible that this utter partisan hack was permitted to moderate a GOP debate at one point. https://t.co/btTIRdHf7O

I can see how this is frustrating to Harwood and his fellow Democrats.

Harwood’s jealous that Jim Acosta got bumped up to his own show where he can spout Democrat talking points all he wants.
