Pro-Tip: Anytime you see a headline about a bill dying/passing "in Congress," always think to yourself:

That’s a Both Sides framing.

The ERA bill did not fail in the Senate today, it was filibustered by the Republicans. The Framing that it failed in the Senate is a way to distribute the failure to Both Sides.

The hostage note that K-Mac passed today is another one; not one Democrat voted for it, so the Republicans passed that bill, not The House.

Since the Murdoch family launched Fox "News" several decades ago, Big Journalism has consistently endorsed the fiction that the outlet is journalistic in nature. There was an element of truth to that early on.

But for the past decade and longer, Fox "News" has been a thoroughly dishonest, relentless propagandist. It accumulates power and money by poisoning our public sphere.

Yet the journalism trade persists in calling it a news outlet, compounding the dishonesty.

It's disheartening.

You don't need to look to Nazi Germany to understand that the people firing professors who don't teach the "right" ideas & threatening librarians do not believe in democracy.

Democracy is grounded on debate, compromise, & electoral contests for power. And it's being savaged, step by step.

Fox News hosts purposely fed their audience dangerous lies and rhetoric about election fraud despite knowing it was BS, which led to a Jan. 6 insurrection that ended up killing people.

Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity have blood on their hands.
