Is the media ignoring Hillary's bill that's against the port sale?

I only ask because for the past few days, the headlines have made it appear that the GOP (Mainly Frist) are the only ones angered by this deal and are the only one's setting an initiative. I remember threads on Sen. Menendez and Sen. Hillary's legislation prohibiting the sale of port operations to foreign governments posted here a week ago. Yet the media seems to be ignoring it...

2. What - our US Media give a false impression - one that does not help Dems?

I don't believe that has ever happen before.

3. GOP congress doesn't have to take up anything written by a Democrat

Something nearly identical can be used with a repub's name on it.

The dems were lucky to get any press on it at all before the GOPers followed them.
