New York Times: Republicans Block Voting Rights Bill, Dealing Blow to Biden and Democrats

I understand the virtue of journalistic neutrality but this seems like going way too far. The Republicans didn't just deal a blow to Joe Biden and the Democrats, they dealt a blow to American voters and to democracy itself. It really is the "For the People Act."

1. I don't know why

the media and people here are acting surprised that the Republicans blocked it. They’ve been telling us their plan for months.

2. Only the media is surprised ......

Democrats are not, but the fight continues with a different result and the GOP knows it. I guess the republicans think they made political points but in reality they only hurt themselves because even many of their base doesn't want voting harder but easier.

3. How about 'Dealing Blow To Democracy"?

Wouldn't that have been a more accurate headline?

4. This is how the media normalizes the anti-American behavior of Republicans

this is how terror attacks like 1/6 happen

5. Good point. I hate how the media loves to frame issues so politically, for max drama nt

6. K&R, New York Times editors think they'll be safe if the people who support 1/6 get into power
