actually being debated. they are fake. and, nick, as someone who has sort of been on this facebook and russia disinformation bleeding into american disinformation beat i wonder if there is any space for russian disinformation. we seem to have gotten it all under control on our own with republicans. to your point, even from 2016, the russian disinformation we talk about was really just a reflection of domestic content. a lot of those russian accounts were just broadcasting found footage and videos and memes that they were ripping off from american meme factories and in some cases broadcast videos of police brutality to kill the black voters and turn them down in terms of number of votes. disinformation i think is often the focused hatred of our own people reflected against ourselves.
key priorities you heard a whole lot about from the liberal wing and other members of his own party that includes paid family leave and community college. the question now is whether the two holdouts to this entire package all along, senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema are on board with this proposal. some house democrats including jayapal are unsure whether they will. he said he s confident he can get the votes. it wasn t i think it wasn t clear whether the two senators have committed to vote for it. so, you know, look, i think it s a bit of a leap of faith in the president. leap of faith with the president. that s where we start with our friends david plouffe and yamiche alcindor. i do it seems as though
pass legislation that does so as well. it is not going to be one action. it is going to be all of us doing our part in a number of different forms to beat this back and protect our democracy. i think it is worse than being reignited. what reignites it is fox news and bright bat and wacky steve bannon. what the wall street does is launders it and whitewashes it. i have heard anecdotally that the journalism side of the paper is not happy. they have done a good job debunking a lot of the lies donald trump repeats in the paper. they responded since we have been on the air. let me read some of this. they seem to be sort of hiding behind this, the facts in trump s fraud letter, his 2020 monomania is news and reflects on his fitness for 2004. having done spin in a past life, the spin seems to be that the journal printed the letter to
trying to kill the vice president, to try to kill the house speaker, that they are fit to print in a newspaper. that being said, i understand, obviously, there are editorial decisions that are made on the editorial page. what i can say is when i read that letter and there was no note to say, this is completely false, there is no note to say we cannot verify these numbers. it was presented as here is a former president sort of responding to an election. it was very, very confusing to me that that would be printed during these times when it is not about sort of a hypothetical argued between two sides. this is really a former president who who incited people to attack lawmakers, including people had his own party, including his own vice president. the wall street journal laundered a lot of president trump s policies in presidency. but it s totally different to side with this. this is something else that happened in the murdoch empire today. let me show you some of these anchors.
side in the sort of selling of the package than has existed during the haggling and sausage making phase. nicole, it s absolutely essential. you put up a graphic. there are a bunch of thing that aren t in the bill. but we have to live in the world of reality. it is harder than it has ever been. but this is the most that joe biden and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer could get. what you have to do is go out and sell all the things on the left side of your graph. it is going to take time and skill and money. this is always the challenge as you know with a big package. it is hard enough to sell one thing. when you have got a bunch of things in there that are popular that you want to make sure people connect back to our votes and the leadership of democrats. i think everybody has had their say. there has been a lot of fighting, spirited negotiations. but now that we are done, essentially, democrats have to say if somebody wants to say i am going the keep up the fight
