Media lying about McConnell to help save face for Chuck Schumer

Chuck Schumer has a huge problem, but his friends in the mainstream media are pitching in to help – with lies.  Now that he has caved in on the Schumer Shutdown, the radicals that dominate his party are angry and demanding protection for the DACA illegal immigrants, and Schumer has promised to oppose funding the border wall that he had earlier discussed supporting in return for action in DACA.
But instead of reporting on the disarray among the Democrats, the narrative just has to be that the evil Republicans  engaged in perfidy. For example, Alexander Bolton of The Hill:
 Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), who vowed last week to vote against any spending bill that didn’t help young immigrants facing deportation, on Tuesday waved away talk of another shutdown if the immigration talks promised by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) stall next month.
“We’re not talking in those terms. We’re talking in positive terms,” Durbin said. “Moving forward with the promised procedure from Sen. McConnell.”
McConnell “promised” to bring to a vote an immigration bill?  He never used that term. He said it was his "intention."  He was very careful in his language -- much more careful than Democrats and journalists (but I repeat myself).
