What the hell, CBS? Less than a week ago the network was called out for a headline claiming Beto O'Rourke supported the NFL's "protest of the National Anthem."
Speaking as someone who writes headlines often here at C&L, I can tell you it's often hard to get it right. Headlines are hard. And it's August. Their regular headline writers might be on vacation. BUT.
When the article says:
The change in campaign messaging aligns with a new proposal in Washington introduced by Sen. Dean Heller, who faces a tough reelection fight, last week. Heller and 10 other Republicans introduced a bill on Thursday that would ensure health care for those with preexisting conditions.
And THAT'S A LIE, which several healthcare policy experts immediately called out as a lie, someone at CBS is being damn lazy. We called it out at C&L this way:
Republicans have a solution! GOP Senators will draft some legislation which does absolutely nothing but at least gives them a chance to say they give a damn about pre-existing conditions, which they do not.
