CNN, NBC, Bloomberg, Politico All Change Headlines on Same Story That Tells Truth About Dems

7303

For a few minutes Thursday, a number of establishment media outlets reported the truth by accurately noting that Senate Democrats had blocked a Republican proposal to offer further assistance to small businesses during the coronavirus shutdown.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell attempted to pass a White House-backed $250 billion relief package aimed at helping small businesses Thursday by unanimous consent - as most lawmakers are currently not in Washington.

Republicans sought to increase funding for the Paycheck Protection Program from $350 billion to $600 billion.

Democrats, seeking to add an additional $250 billion for pet projects and double the amount Republicans were seeking, made sure nothing got done.

Similarly to how they held up progress on the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Democrats were seeking to take advantage of the urgency in helping small businesses stay afloat during the nationwide shutdown by trying to attach unrelated additional spending to the bill.

When they didn’t receive their special provisions, Democrats blocked the legislation from moving forward.

Astonishingly, establishment media outlets reported the facts and relayed to their readers which party had played politics with the livelihoods of struggling Americans.

Sadly, that all changed when, one by one, four news outlets updated their headlines to portray the failure in helping American workers as a bipartisan one - thus absolving the Democrats of being held accountable for their obstructionism.

CNN covered the congressional news and published a story headlined “Democrats block GOP-led funding boost for small business aid program” at 10:36 a.m. Thursday.

By 11:15 am, the headline on the story was adjusted to read, “Senate at stalemate over more COVID-19 aid after Republicans and Democrats block competing proposals.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz shared images of the two CNN headlines on Twitter and called out the network for its quick change in tone. “Gee, it’s almost as if CNN has a partisan agenda,” Cruz wrote.

 

In a separate post, the Republican joked that CNN head Jeff Zucker likely called his web team and ordered them to change the headline as it was too harsh on Democrats.

 

Sadly, for a country in need of the truth, CNN wasn’t the only outlet that quickly reverted to reporting fake news after initially reporting the facts.

Bloomberg, NBC News and Politico all quickly followed CNN’s lead by updating their headlines regarding the Senate story in ways that portrayed Democrats in a better light.

The Trump campaign’s Twitter account saved images of the original headlines from each outlet and then compared them with the updated headlines.

 

Bloomberg originally headlined its story “Democrats Block McConnell Push to Boost Small Business Aid.”

That headline was changed to “GOP, Democrats in Standoff Over Boosting Same-Business Aid.”

 

NBC News’ original headline read “Senate Democrats block GOP bid for $250 billion in small business funds amid impasse over coronavirus aid.”

The headline for the same NBC News report now says “Senate hits impasse over $250 billion in coronavirus small-business funds.”

Finally, Politico covered the news of the Democrats’ obstruction fairly in a story that was headlined “Senate Dems to block new coronavirus relief in bid for more money.”

That headline was changed to read “Senate fails to approve new coronavirus relief after partisan stalemate” but was changed again and now reads “Senate brawl derails fast push for new coronavirus relief.”

As their credibility circles the drain, the establishment media certainly aren’t doing themselves any favors with stunts such as this.

After putting out fair and balanced reports, they all quickly felt the need to make revisions in order to paint Democrats as not being at fault for harming American businesses looking for relief.

For all of their blatant lies and sensational headlines meant to paint Republicans as the bad guys, CNN and the others couldn’t surrender to the truth for a single day.

  1. LEAVE IT TO THE DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA TO SCREW OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN. DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES. THEY ARE A MISERABLE BUCH OF RATS.

  2. Truth about Dems? WORLD KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE. EVIL, DISGUSTING, SUBHUMAN, LOW LIFE, WORTHLESS, SCUM BAG, RACIST, BIGOT, AMERICA HATING TRAITOR PILES OF DISEASED SHIT. ALL BELONG IN GITMO, MOST ON DEATH ROW!

  4. Anyone and I mean anyone who votes for any Democrat in the future is in serious need of brain surgery or an outright brain transplant!

  5. Affirmative Andy, usually use some rat shot for rats. But these rodents are somewhat bigger, but I wouldn’t waste any good ammo yet… .22 Magnum Hollow Point should work just right for bigger rodents.

  6. Why This country doesn’t hold Democrat’s feet to the fire is beyond me. America knows already how under handed the Media, and the Democrat’s are. So now start holding them accountable.

  7. I pray GOD removes ALL these News Media along with ALL Democrats that cause havoc on our country. To block our Businesses etc….. like I said before I pray GOD puts ALL of them in a dark place where they can’t see where they’re at, can’t see to walk There’s no end until they come to realize that the Americans deserve better then what they are doing for us to put the Americans first before their ELITES. To work with our President and Republicans to fix our country. In JESUS name AMEN!!!!!

  8. The sheer number of people in this country that are all hell bent on her destruction is just beyond my ability to comprehend. Our founders must be spinning in their graves. The greatest generation who busted their behinds, gave up their lives, sacrificed their limbs and years of their lives to stop the socialist Nazi invasion and sucker punch from the Japanese must be in shock at what they are witnessing. When did Americans start laying down to the communist way? When did they start bending over and saying do what you will just let me stay home and watch TV and play games? The New World Order that invaded our schools and turned our teachers, then our children into socialist has taken a massive bite out of this country. We are in decline. We are being over run. All while we sit on our hands and allowing it to happen. It is heartbreaking.

  9. What do you expect all these tentacles of the communist party got their marching orders they better be putting a propaganda and lies as they always do or they will pay the price. You wonder why they’re stupid people in this country because they followed his marching orders of the communist a.k.a. Democrat party propaganda machine and the pimps the one world order millionaires!

  10. This is just another example of lying and conniving by Demrats. The American Press can not be relied on to offer up real news anymore. It is sad when a middle class dude like me has to go online to news posts or to organizations that are non American (BBC, Al Jazira) to get accurate news reports. It’s pathetic.

  11. You know that discussion about the nedi being bias or not? The discussion is done now right? If this doesnt prove the bias then it can not be proved.

  12. The DEEP STATE doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ about the health and/or well-being of the people the have either been elected to serve or appointed to serve. It’s all about POWER. If thousands have to die in order to advance their POWER a smidge, then so be it! It’s all about buying votes from a bunch of ignoramuses that can’t understand that when their “bonus checks” run out they won’t have any jobs to go back to because their employers will have gone belly up while they lived the good life for a short season.

    The problem at hand is the CORONAVIRUS, not the far-left’s desire for more control over everything and everybody. Their belief is that the conservatives desire to heal the country is a perfect opportunity to attach their pork to any bill that is brought to a vote and that the conservatives will “compromise” in order to get SOMETHING done.

    God help us all if they do that —- again!

  13. The wealthy liberals own the media and they use it to brainwash the public to push their agenda. People need to get wise to this ploy. Hit them Bach where it hurts. Stop purchasing any products advertised in liberal owned media. The manufacturers of these products will get the message when their revenues fall and will quit advertising in these venues. With no advertising dollars coming in, the liberal media will bankrupt.

  14. I have never understood why it is permissible to write a bill for something and then tons of pork are added to it. Can’t the powers that be change the way bills are written so that only ONE bill without pork attached be voted on? A bill that would help thousands is ruined by greedy power grabbers who attempted to sneak in their favorite liberal entities. This is just wrong. Pass one bill at a time and all this pork added to the bill could be eliminated. Where as I wrong thinking this should be the way bills are handled?

  15. The midterms saw a blue wave for liberals, sweeping across the country taking back the house, more blue governors even in Kentucky Moscow Mitch’s back yard, recent election in Wisconsin another win for liberals even with the communist rights attempt to rig it to they’re advantage.
    I’m not a betting man, but it’s clear to me there is going to be a blue tsunami in November, the radical right communist party doesn’t stand a chance.
