You wouldn't even know that the GOP is on a record pace with the filibusters.

As I have said in the past and will continue to say in the future the "mainstream" media has a strong liberal bias. It doesn't bother me when it comes to social issues but it really bothers me when it comes to military and ecnomic issues. I also think the main stream media favors the Dems. They usually spin things in the Dems favor (probably because most of them are Dems).
However, you are spot on with this observation. I noticed it to and I find it baffling. Normally the press spins things towards the Dems but in this case all of a sudden a filibuster is a tactical procedure. You never hear the word filibuster anymore. Did some memo go around threatening reporters and editors families or something?
