The Media’s Unacceptable Silence on the Republican Health Care Bill
The Senate legislation couldn’t withstand a week of scrutiny, and the GOP wants to pass it anyway. That's a major news story—every single day. BY BRIAN BEUTLER July 4, 2017


The unveiling of the Better Care Reconciliation Act was new news.

The dreadful CBO impact analysis was new news.

Each statement of opposition by a mortified GOP senator was new news.

And, of course, the delay of the Senate vote amid a large public protest was new news.

But once the bill stalled, Republicans were able to seize control of events once again.

The erosion of media interest in the Republican health care bill over the past five days has been palpable.

4. The media loved Trump when he was running

They are still enabling him today and normalizing his destruction of freedom and democracy, even as he attacks them and calls then the enemy of the people.
