Remember how we caught CNSNews.com doing multiple stories pushing the same exactly talking point du jour — sometimes on the same day? Well, it’s done it again.
An anonymously written May 18 CNS article stated, under the headline “Pelosi: ‘Democratic Caucus…I Am Proud to Say is More Than 60% Women, People of Color and LGBTQ Members’”:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) delivered the virtual commencement address for Smith College on Sunday, telling the graduates the that House Democratic Caucus is “more than 60 percent women, people of color an LGBTQ members.”
[…]“I am pleased to convey the congratulations of the Congress of the United States–and to bring special greetings on behalf of the House Democratic Caucus, which I am proud to say is more than 60 percent women, people of color and LGBTQ members,” Pelosi said.
Then in a July 8 article, an anonymous CNS writer repeated Pelosi saying the same basic thing under nearly the same exact headline, “Nancy Pelosi: ‘Our Caucus…is More Than 60 Percent Women, People of Color and LGBTQ’”:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) on Monday joined with Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D.-N.Y.) and Caucus Procedures Chair Grace Meng (D.-N.Y.) in issuing a statement about the Democratic Caucus’ new “Diversity Rule.”
“House Democrats take great pride in the beautiful diversity of our Caucus, which is more than 60 percent women, people of color and LGBTQ,” said Pelosi, Jeffries and Meng said in the statement.
“One of our Caucus’s top priorities has long been to promote diversity at every level of Congress, so that these halls better reflect the dynamism and vibrancy of the American people whom we are privileged to represent,” they said.
CNS has not explained why this information was so important that it did basically the same story about it in less than two months — unless it wants to convey to its readers that women, people of color and LGBTQ people are somehow a bad thing to be associated with.
