AP's framing of what the Dems can't use their '$3.5 trillion package' to accomplish is PEAK #Journalism

One of the Democrats’ dream bills might be a little less dreamy for them because of the Senate parliamentarian:

The Senate parliamentarian ruled against allowing Democrats to include a pathway to legal status for an estimated 8 million undocumented immigrants in their massive social spending plan https://t.co/2XBpRaprZL

The Associated Press was spotted framing the story in a way the Democrats will probably approve of:

This would have been a more honest way for the AP to frame what’s happened:

The push for new Dem voters is being stalled. https://t.co/4lw6M3YYpr

And the Dems aren’t happy, even though they had some help with the spin.

BREAKING: Democrats can’t use their $3.5 trillion package bolstering social and climate programs to give millions of immigrants a chance to become citizens, the Senate’s parliamentarian has ruled. https://t.co/BfYp4osFjf

The decision is a blow to what was the party’s clearest pathway in years to attaining its long-sought goal of allowing several categories of immigrants to gain permanent residence and possibly citizenship. https://t.co/IJRbLKGofl

It was indeed an impressive display of journalistic gymnastics.
