ABC, NBC Promote 'Historic' Democrat Spending Bill, Omit Criticism
If you watched either the Saturday edition of Today on NBC or ABC’s Good Morning America, you would have come away with the impression that Democrats would spend the voting to improve health care and the environment and reduce inflation and the deficit while Republicans try to stop them.
