Of course they won't. Democrats spent twenty+ years dismantling the investigative journalism apparatus, killing off or running out those who wouldn't buy into softballing and puff-piecing their bastards. Why would they back something that would allow for calling truth to all power, not just the power that prefers red ties? No, Biden's faction wants to pick and choose. Hell, I don't even trust Schumer to actually be behind this and he's the one who claims writing it.
I find it interesting that Democrats are getting all the heat that was normally reserved for all politicians. They’re not special and certainly not the only perpetrators of watering down journalism and softball interviews.
Honestly, most of that comes from corporate lobbying fearing being exposed for the dirty shit they have the politicians doing their name.
Doesn’t matter Republican or Democrat. They’re both sides of the same shitty political system.
The real fight is rich versus poor, working class verse owner class, and everyone seems to have forgotten that fact. They’ve managed to convince the poorest of people. They may one day be a millionaire and take advantage of the same legal loopholes they have created. So why bother changing anything?
They ironic part is the republican base is the poor an uneducated and have the loudest voices against their own best interests. They cry out against these supposed liberal cities or politicians or democrats that are vilified by the same corporate controlled media.
They have fooled the poor and uneducated to yell and complain and fight about these bullshit supposed cultural issues and have mobilized the Christian fascists and racist white power groups to support them.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world looks in horror as America loses its basic freedoms and rights. Not that the US ranked high among developed nations on lots of these issues to begin with, we are just circling the drain.
