I've heard that complaint, that the media is misinforming the public and on the side of the Democrats so there's wide spread confusion, but I don't think it's true. If they wanted a bill with tax cuts for the lower and middle class as the centerpiece they could have written a bill to do that. They didn't. They wrote a bill with corporations as the centerpiece and it turns out corporations aren't people, they're composed of people and the majority of those people have picked up, accurately, that the GOP tax bill isn't about them; their cuts are periphery, small, and temporary and many may even see their taxes even go up while corporations' tax cuts are permanent, concrete, and drastically lower.
Even if you assume the media is on the Democrat's side, the GOP could have written a budget neutral corporate tax reduction that didn't open up the possibility that people's taxes would go up or, perhaps, only the wealthiest's taxes would and there wouldn't be that fear lurking out there at all.
