The very first agreement the media seems to make is that there are going to be cuts

Every report I have seen on multiple "news" program is framed from "whatever cuts are going to be negotiated", as if budget cuts are a "done deal".

They are framing this as if the Retrumplicans are already getting a win in the debt ceiling, and the only thing to work out is what's going to be cut.

I don't think that's by accident.

President Biden should draw a line in the sand and tell McCarthy to go to hell or he'll destroy him.

the budget by making massive tax cuts and the D’s coming in and saving their sorry asses. Long past time to stop that nonsense. Also, it’s not like Kevin was going to walk out and say Biden told me to pound sand. That he’s not going to cut anything.

Framing Republicans positively has been the media’s default setting for 4 decades now.
