Republicans vs Democrats and their media

This is journalism or propaganda?

Democrats and Schumer surrendering on Senate coronavirus stimulus bill
. . . "Shanghai Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Democrats have given way on more than several budget proposals they tried to include in the bill that had nothing to do with the virus." . . .

Democrats kill coronavirus relief package and New York Times editorial board 
blames Republicans   . . . "Well, that's what the New York Times editorial board said. Maybe someone needs to explain it to them.
“The Coronavirus Bailout Stalled. And It’s Mitch McConnell’s Fault,” declares the board's headline. The subhead adds, “Senate Republicans are blocking passage of an economic bailout plan that protects jobs and wages.”
"Democrats put partisan politics ahead of efforts to halt the coronavirus pandemic and prevent the collapse of the U.S. economy. This isn't hard to understand unless you don't want to." . . .
CNN and MSNBC will savor this tonight!
• Nullifies the White House executive orders on federal collective bargaining and codifies taxpayer-funded union official time.
• Requires a labor union representative on every airline’s board of directors.
• Multiemployer pension bailout lacking needed reforms.
• Permanently raises the minimum wage to $15 for any business that receives federal aid for COVID-19.
• Cancels all debt owed by the U.S. Postal Service to the Treasury.
Under the heading “Green New Deal priorities”:• Requires all airlines that receive assistance to offset carbon emissions for domestic flights by 2025.
• Includes a $1 billion “cash for clunkers” airplane program where the Transportation Department buys fuel-inefficient planes from airlines in exchange for agreeing to buy new ones.
• Includes expansive new tax-credit for solar and wind energy.
Much more here including, but not limited to:
• Would allow certain funding to go to sanctuary cities.• Permanent expansion of Obamacare entitlement, “putting the American taxpayer on the hook for endless and unchecked health insurance spending and would remove all incentives for insurers to reduce the cost of health insurance.”
