After Pelosi complains about media not selling Dems spending bill, CNN promotes ‘Build Back Better’ plan

It appeared on Monday that CNN received Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s, D-Calif., plea to better sell President Biden‘s Build Back Better plan loud and clear.

On Sunday, CNN posted an analysis titled “Get up to speed: How the spending bill would change your life.” The article promoted ten “bold ideas” included in the bill and went as far as to claim the bill could “feed every hungry child” in America and “bring kids out of poverty.”

This positive analysis of the Democratic legislation comes days after Pelosi’s complaint that the media could “do a better job of selling” the trillion dollar legislation. On Oct. 12, after reporters noted a poll that only 10 percent of Americans knew exactly what was in the bill, Pelosi blamed the low number on journalists.

“Well I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you,” Pelosi responded, saying the media has not done justice to the list of items in the bill, such as the family medical leave provision. “Every time I come here, I go through the list … It is hard to break through when you have such a comprehensive package.”- READ MORE
