Sharp-eyed readers and viewers have spotted the bias. One of the first questions that Democrats get when asked about a potential government shutdown is why won’t Democrats compromise with Republicans.
The answer is that Republicans are in control of the entire federal government, and it is their job to compromise with Democrats if they want to keep the government open.
Sarah Jones recently discussed the media and the shutdown on Chew’s Views where she said:
Trump and Republicans were planning on blaming Democrats for. And I saw like most of the mainstream media was like, oh yeah, Democrats are gonna get blamed because, Republicans will say, we’re gonna fire these people, or we’re not gonna pay veterans.
And then boom, too bad. Democrats get the blame. And I was sitting over here going, you’re you’re just going to repeat their propaganda talking points without any context that they have a trifecta of power right now. And that's the only time we ever have these cliff-hangers, we’re gonna do a shutdown, is when Republicans refuse to do their jobs.

Usually they’ve been in the party of the minority. And that’s the only way they could get the issues that they wanted. To have to be addressed because they weren’t issues that the American public actually wanted. So they would use this threat and drive Democrats into being the only adult in the room and take care of business and protect the country.
And, that’s, here we are in this position. It’s very strange where to say Democrats have to stop doing that in order to get. Republicans to do their job. Yeah, because how long can you parent this group of, they’re just Trump boot lickers at this point, right? They’re not trying to do anything positive for the country.
It’s all about how to protect Donald Trump, how to protect the Epstein files from coming out, how to protect the corruption from being exposed, how to gaslight the entire world about the rising threat of right-wing violence in this country that is escalating and has started to escalate under Donald Trump’s entrance into our political world.
The plan is to blame the Democrats for the government shutdown. The media wants to blame Democrats and take the side of relieving Republicans from all responsibility for their choices.
If the government shuts down, and you begin to hear odd things coming out of the mainstream press blaming Democrats, your ears aren’t deceiving you.
It is just the billionaire-run media sticking to the GOP plan.
