Manchin can’t be relied on for this.
That said, I suspect it’s more than Manchin, Manchin just takes the arrows for a half-dozen Dems who are just as bad.

And apparently not part of the democratic party leadership anymore either.
For all the shit Nancy takes she’s actually a founding member of the house progressive caucus.
TIL. I did not know that, thanks.
Without a doubt, this is all just angry man yelling at clouds. 😯
This is true. Even with Manchin on board the chances that the filibuster gets nixed are pretty close to zero.
For some reason, this struck me as a metaphor for Democrats after they win elections (in case it’s not clear, Dems = cat.)

How do we know it’s actually an error and not the truth that somehow slipped by our government overlords?

I thought it was potatoes.
Politico headline: “Biden disliked Putin before it was cool.”
A perfect example of two things: the DC “insider” press’s deep need to transform every story, no matter how serious, into a high school-level tale of fads and fashions, in vs. out, as well as the mainstream media’s surprising willingness to go along with Trumpists in rewriting history to make it sound like Trump’s aberrations have always been the GOP normal. (Prior to Trump, disliking Putin was the default position of both parties.)
Not for nothing does Charles Pierce call Politico “Tiger Beat on the Potomac.”
Is this the international newsdroid signal of distress?

That’s just how photos from the mirror universe turn out.
Beltway media sucks. :/
More (extreme) both sides from CNN:
Those seem to be factual statements about what people believe. I haven’t gone wondering through the trumposphere to see whether they describe her as a martyr, but it seems entirely unsurprising that they do. So what’s your beef exactly? That CNN is describing the world as it is?
Describing competing beliefs about the world isn’t the same thing as describing the world. I think that’s the beef.
I guess the point that I’m making is that is that peoples’ beliefs are part of the world (of politics).
“The moon is made of blue cheese” would be a ludicrous thing for CNN to assert.
“Scott Gibson thinks that the moon is made of blue cheese” seems like a perfectly reasonable thing for CNN to assert (as long as he does).
I think it’s a headline of the form “some people think the earth is round, while others are certain it is flat.” From a news organization that surely knows the truth, leaving the ambiguity hanging there is an odd choice. The headline can be both true and deliberately misleading.
