they've agreed to close their filibuster down. That's the ONLY thing that's been agreed to.
But O'Donnell never makes that distinction and indeed, it's only made about 30 minutes later in the broadcast, despite the banner clearly stating it's the Assembly that's voting, not the Senate.
In my opinion, this kind of "error" is intended to demoralize those fighting passage of this bill, the same way the Fox News "error" yesterday flipping poll results was meant to do.
So let's clarify exactly what that "breaking news" was and what Senate Democrats are and are not doing.
LA Times:
Even as demonstrators continued to chant and sing their protests against Gov. Scott Walker's plan to end collective bargaining for state workers, lawmakers prepared to move the bill along. Though the measure is expected to easily pass the Republican-controlled Assembly, it also needs Senate approval.
In television interviews from Illinois, Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach said all 14 senators who have fled Wisconsin would not return until some form of compromise is negotiated with Walker. The Republican governor has repeatedly ruled out any talks.
Just a reminder about how biased that "liberal media" can be.
