The “Liberal Media” Adopting Republican Talking Points on Reconciliation

Here’s a good article explaining how common and simple the reconciliation process is (i.e., don’t buy the hysteria being put forth by the “liberal media”  — that’s all coming from hypocritical, lying Republicans).

There’s nothing wrong with the media reporting that Republicans oppose the use of reconciliation to amend the healthcare bill. Of course they do. But they owe it to their audience to explain that reconciliation does nothing more than allow a simple majority vote to pass budgetary issues and that it’s been used routinely by both parties for decades. That’s just the simple truth.
