'Just a coincidence'! Identical media spin on Dems blocking coronavirus relief bill shows that 'the talking points are in'

As we told you earlier, the Senate Democrats used the filibuster to block debate on a new coronavirus relief package. But as you might have imagined, “Democrats block another round of economic relief for suffering Americans” wasn’t going to be the predominant headline in MSM stories.

After Senate Dems blocked the bill, @RedSteeze noticed a trend developing:

As if that headline would ever see the light of day from a national media outlet.

It's so weird that the Senate Democrats aren't obstructionists.

A curious synchronicity to rationalize Senate Democrats blocking a coronavirus relief bill. @SenSchumer https://t.co/8HWiOE6Uzd

Put "Democrats filibuster relief bill" into Google Translate and get "Senate (or Republicans) failed to advance relief bill" in Media-speak. https://t.co/13iacZYdQs

If every article and news report uses the same phrasing, it means one of two things:

1) The journalists are being lazy and copying each other.

2) The journalists are taking marching orders from someone.

Often both. https://t.co/9pPO6MEoju

There's no way they don't get issued "talking points" when every outlet uses the exact same terminology. https://t.co/6oleOtRYim

They don’t even really try to hide it either.
