Left hand, right hand

When you take from the poor, it probably helps to let thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, lest thy framing choices lead thee to a berth on the unheated cattle train to Siberia amen.

It's unusual to get this much framing dissonance at the top of the Fox homepage in a mere seven hours, particularly when your main customer has made his wishes clear (it was only Tuesday that an announcement of the website that lets YOU figure out how much you'd gain was the No. 2 story on the homepage). And indeed, here we were Wednesday with the CBO estimate of the "major money" we'd all be saving in taxes (story from the business side posted at 10:45 a.m. EDT; screen grab from 12:48 p.m.):

President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" would cut taxes by $3.7 trillion while raising deficits by $2.4 trillion over a decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says.

The CBO released its report on Trump's bill on Wednesday. The report also estimates that it would create an additional 10.9 million people without health insurance under the bill, including 1.4 million who are in the country without legal status in state-funded programs.

CBO's analysis of the House-passed version of the bill shows a larger deficit impact than the version that House Republicans initially brought to the floor, which was estimated to raise deficits by a net $2.3 trillion over a decade.

By evening (different writer, story posted at 6:37 p.m., screen capture a bit before 8), the CBO report looks different:

President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is projected to increase the debt by $3 trillion, with interest, or $5 trillion if made permanent, according to estimates.

An estimate of the House-passed bill by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects it would add more than $2.4 trillion to primary deficits before interest over 10 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a nonprofit public policy organization.

What does it all mean? Probably not that the revolution is at hand. Some of the discord at the top could be trickling down into the ranks. Fox might even just be doing journalism. (It's rare but not entirely unknown.) But it might be worth keeping an eye on the rail yards over the coming days.
