NYT, AP, Bloomberg, And Legacy Media Blame Dems For Gov’t shutdown

Quote:
Many of the country’s top media outfits blamed the Democratic Party for allowing the government to shutdown instead of bridging a budget impasse with Republicans in the Senate.

“U.S. Shutdown Starts as Senate Democrats Block GOP Funding Plan” a Bloomberg headline blared early Saturday morning, referring to the Senate’s inability to agree on a variety of budgetary issues. The New York Times and AP chimed in with similar headlines.

Media outlets, meanwhile, painted the issue in harsh tones for the Democrats — one NYT headline declared: “Senate Democrat Block Bill to Keep Government Open Past Midnight, Shutdown Looms,” while the AP simply noted that, “Senate Democrats derail bill to avert shutdown.”

I find it amusing that on the one year anniversary of Trump's inauguration we get a government shutdown. Trump is just as effective a president on Day #365 as he was on Day #1 Those who are blaming Democrats need to accept the fact that the winning Republicans are incompetent.

I have no in interest in pandering within nor unto such extremist drama spins,... Right Wing Media feeds enough of that .... it might be best to use that type of gaming on other Republican Right Wingers.


The Dem's are smart to stand up for DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY and the RESPECT for HUMANITY... too bad, those things have no value meaning to Republicans.

Folks, you cannot make this up....

Pubs, with 51 senators, had four of their own vote against the CR.

Op conveniently ignores the posts of nurider and ChristineVa, except to maybe address one snippet that was easy for him to answer. Classic trumpist.

Or at least thats what Schumer thought when HE wasn't the one holding millions of Americans hostage.

Funny, Pelosi thought the same thing.

Pelosi called the 2013 GOP bid an “unthinkable tactic.” She told ABC, “I join the American people in their disgust in what happened in terms of the shutdown of government. That’s an unthinkable tactic to use in a political debate.”

2013 Shutdown Rants: Schumer, 'Wrong, Chaos,' Pelosi, 'Legislative arsonists'

Hypocrites, especially since they're harming Americans over illegals.
Hard luck mate, despite your attempts to frame the dems as the bad guys the PUBLIC are with the Dems

so post as much as you like, shout roar as loud as you can. but... by a 20 point margin (massive) the public says the Republicans are the bad guys ref this shut down.

and trump looks even worse.

as a dem i am delighted to see the Rs eating this.

Here's some Earth-shattering news: The government really never shuts down. It doesn't, folks. All it is is made-up, left-wing media hype. It's nowhere near the end of the world. We're all doing just fine.
