CNN and other outlets seem to go out of their way to characterize progressive Democrats as

[JohnSJ]

“Moderates” and establishment, because they don’t carry things like “defund the police” as their motto

Where does the so-called MSM get their talking points from?

Shontel Brown was just on CNN setting the record straight with Erin Burnett

I strongly suggest some in the illustrious media take some time and see where these so-called “establishment” Democrats are on the issues, and their voting record.

What they will find by any standard is the vast majority of these Democrats are progressive

They are pro-choice, for women’s rights, worker’s rights, civil rights, voting rights, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, healthcare for all, sane gun laws, etc, etc, etc

2. We need new labels. Voters won't parse various progessive labels, especially in election years.

[JohnSJ]

3. Labels are a big problem. Remember the "liberal media" label?

[Cha]

4. And, who started those "labels"?

Yes I remember the "liberal media" label.. it was to discredit the facts and the truth.

And, the Gaslighting continues.

5. Bernard Goldberg who worked for CBS, left and wrote the book Bias where

he coined the phrase, and became part of the fox empire

That is when much of the media went out of their way to play both side risks, even when it wasn’t applicable

6. A moderate wants health insurance for all

A liberal wants healthcare for all
