Has ANY major news outlet said the phrase: "Republican Filibuster"??
Any of them? This is quite a disturbing trend in the media.

From FDL:


it’s not about how the Republicans would rather filibuster than allow an up-or-down vote, but instead it’s all about Those Mean Democrats Beating Up On Those Nice Republicans. The whole article is written that way.

Next up, Carl Hulse, pushing the myth that the GOP “moderates” are willing to break with Bush when (as TPM’s Greg Sargent points out tartly) they’ve never ever voted against Bush on Iraq. (The WP’s Harold Meyerson actually makes that point here, but his good sense will I’m sure be drowned out by whatever Fred Hiatt says in his contortionist WaPo editorial tomorrow.)

And here’s the AP’s Laurie Kellman, making sure, in the finest ‘burying the lede’ tradition, that the GOP spin (that this is all just silly theater on Reid’s part) is in the first few grafs and the truth is buried waaaaaay at the end of her article (which most readers will skip).

3. Do a simple google news search, NOTHING!
Nothing from the major outlets, a few blog hits come up, but NOTHING! Try it:


http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Republican+filibuster%22&btnG=Search


No headlines that say that phrase, except for a few lefty sites and some local news sources.
