The Media Research Center’s shutdown narrative — that Democrats are solely to blame for it — continued apace in a Nov. 8 post by Alex Christy:
The last month has been difficult for MSNBC host and PBS News Hour contributor Jonathan Capehart’s intellectual consistency, as he can’t decide whether the government shutdown is proof that Democrats are finally growing a spine or, as he claimed on Friday, whether “there’s a meanness and a cruelty” to the shutdown that is all Republicans’ fault.
[…]While Capehart struggles to decide whether the shutdown is a good thing or not, Gorman’s presence shows what a proper liberal versus conservative weekly news recap could be if only PBS had a full-time conservative pundit.
Yes, even in a post supposedly about Democrats, Christy makes it a right-wingers.
Jorge Bonilla praised a Trump cabinet official for sticking with the narrative in a Nov. 9 post:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos tried to push Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with regard to ending the ongoing government shutdown. Instead, he was treated to an uncomfortable history lesson.
Watch as Bessent throws Stephanopoulos’ own words on shutdown strategy against him:
[…]Stephanopoulos KNEW he was cooked when Bessen hit him with the line about the one Amazon purchase for his book. And he pivot-flailed by calling the quote “a mischaracterization of history”, but it is Stephanopoulos who mischaracterized history.
[…]As Bessent demonstrates here, the media’s shameless propagandization around the shutdown tends to not resist a basic rebuttal.
Bonilla, of course, is pushing his own shameless propagandization around the shutdown.
