The first major legislation of 2021 was passed and signed into law by President Joe Biden on Thursday. It was the American Rescue Plan<\/a><\/strong> (ARP) that provided $1.9 trillion dollars of relief and stimulus funds to help people and businesses suffering through the deadly COVID pandemic. The bill was broadly popular<\/a><\/strong> across the country and across the political spectrum, including by a majority of Republicans.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Republican Party that inhabits Congress was uniformly opposed to the plan. Every single member of the GOP in the House and the Senate voted against it, despite it’s support among their own constituents. And that wholesale rejection of what may be be the most popular legislation in generations was also displayed on the Republican Propaganda Network, aka Fox News.<\/p>\n

Fox News spent the last week maligning both the bill and its Democratic sponsors, especially President Biden. Well, that’s when they weren’t throwing hissy fits about the alleged “cancelling”<\/em> of Dr. Seuss<\/em> or Mr. Potato Head<\/em>. For the most part Fox ignored Biden’s public events<\/a><\/strong> in favor of embarrassingly trivial distractions or ludicrous attempts at criticism<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, on Friday Fox News tried a new tactic. They actually covered (briefly) Biden’s announcement of his plans to educate the public about the benefits of the ARP and how they can take full advantage of it (video below)<\/em>. Of course, Fox’s idea of covering any Democratic event involves portraying it in the most negative and, if possible, frightening way they can dream up. To that end Fox aired part of the Biden speech with this message below the video: “Biden Celebrates Deal No Republican Supported.”<\/em><\/p>\n
