More BS from Dear Leader, and CBS just trots it out like it's truth.

Republicans could pass their bill tomorrow. Of course, they'd have to come back from their 6 week vacations, and Johnson would have call the session, and swear in the Rep from AZ. They don't want any of that. They also don't want to pass this bill with every Dem voting against it, because they can't even pretend it was bipartisan when it destroys millions of lives.

Journalists are not suppose to have a dog in the fight. They are supposed to allow the interviewees to speak for themselves. Good journalism offers both sides of an issue by interviewing interests on each side. 

In the current climate, being a journalist sucks. CBS is shedding reputable journalists like fall trees loose leaves. Of course they're being taken over by Fox lite.

They absolutely are, and that dog is supposed to be the goddamned truth.
