Bothsides coverage perpetuates government disfunction.

House Democrats *passed a bill* in May. Republicans refused to do anything til last week and have yet to propose anything that can get 50 votes in the Senate, which they control. https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1291554720381915136

But Senate Republicans can coast like that without proposing anything that can pass, without amending the House-passed bill, without holding a markup or a hearing, without McConnell even going to the damn meetings, and still get CNN stories that put a pox on both parties.

Republicans rely on that hazy blame-everyone coverage mentality to run against the failures that their lassitude and obstruction create. It’s hard for voters to discern who caused the wreck or how to avoid another. So these stories in a small way perpetuate the disfunction.
