| | Debt Slavery: What the Bankruptcy Bill Could Do to You DAVID SWANSON / The Black Commentator i.132, 31mar2005 |
 | | House Democrats are showing glaring signs of weakness, and many of them will back this bill if they don't feel pressure from their constituents to oppose it. |
 | | While the New York Times and the Washington Post and others have produced some good and lengthy articles, often these articles are framed with poor headlines and leads that obscure the important information. |
 | | The media has, in a move that is always damaging to democracy, reported too heavily on the horse race, predicting a near certain passage of the bill, predicting a last-minute surge in filings before it's enacted, and praising the Republicans for being winners, even when acknowledging that their bill will hurt millions of people. |
