An anonymously written July 16 CNSNews.com article states:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) held a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday to celebrate the first payments of the Biden Child Tax Credit and twice during that press conference, according to the transcript Pelosi published of the event, she declared: “Oh, my God.”
“The Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides the largest Child Tax Credit ever and historic relief to the most working families ever–and as of July 15th, most families are automatically receiving monthly payments of $250 or $300 per child without having to take any action,”explained a statement on the White House website.
At the event, Pelosi mentioned the Paycheck Protection Program and Rep. Maxine Waters (D.-Calif.) efforts in promoting it.
[…]Pelosi also said “Oh, my God” in response to a question a reporter asked her about the spike in drug overdose deaths over the past year.
We’re having trouble figuring out why this article exists. Is it an attack on Pelosi? If so, it’s a bizarre one. “Oh, my God” is a common enough expression that it shouldn’t be particularly offensive to anyone, even the uber-Catholics who run CNS and have deemed Pelosi insufficiently Catholic because she’s not anti-abortion.
But some anonymous someone at CNS was apparently so offended by Pelosi’s use of this common expression that he or she even made screenshots of the transcript of Pelosi’s presser with the words “Oh, my God” highlighted. Yet that person was not so offended that he or she couldn’t be bothered to explain to readers exactly why. It’s lashing out for no good or obvious reason — which may serve as a demonstration of how much CNS hates Pelosi than of any actual news value.
Consider this a very strange entry in CNS’ multi-pronged war against Pelosi.
