Why you can't trust the New York Times: COVID19 relief edition

Here's a headline from the NYT:

This is in fact a lie.  Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are blocking the relief bill.  Pelosi has passed a House version with no debate and no Republican input that demands:

• Corporate pay statistics by race
• Bailing out all current Postal Service debt
• Requiring early voting
• Requiring same day registration
• $10K bailout for student loans
• If a company accepts assistances their workers must choose 1/3 of the companies board members
• Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining
• Full offset of airline CO2 emissions by 2025
• Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
• Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
• $15 minimum wage if company receiving assistance
• Permanent paid leave at companies receiving assistance

Whether you like or dislike these proposals no honest person can say that they're related to helping Americans deal with consequences of government policies that are keeping them from working and shopping.

By saying that McConnell is at fault for not simply giving in to Democrat politicians protection racket, give us what we want or Americans will suffer, the NYT is showing that it too doesn't give a darn about how much Americans suffer.

Can you imagine the outcry if McConnell was holding up relief until Democrats agreed to a ban on abortions after 20 weeks or a long term tax cut?

Good people know that this bill should be about helping counter the negative impacts of government policies that are protecting Americans but which are also hurting American's financial security.

But by making the bill a laundry list of Democrat politician's unrelated desires it's Democrat politicians who are at fault not Mitch McConnell.
