2. You mean the MEDIA needs A LOT of "Civics Lessons"

THEY are the ones who continue to perpetuate misinformation by merely echoing the lies coming from the GOP instead of TEACHING.

I remember they did that all through the drafting of the ACA. Their continual promotion of "the bill" without mentioning the fact that at least 6 committees (or more) from BOTH chambers of Congress, were drafting "bills". So there was no "the bill". And then once some iteration was ready for a vote from one chamber, the assumption was that THAT was "the bill", without mentioning that it needed to be reconciled with the other chamber's "bill".... and on and on.

It's just infuriating.
