"Let's be clear," President Barack Obama said on Thursday, a day after the Republican-led House voted to approve a Democratic-led Senate bill to end the partial government shutdown. "There are no winners here."
But according to a study conducted by the conservative Media Research Center, there was a clear loser presented to the more than 20 million viewers who tuned in to the evening newscasts of the three major television networks during the shutdown: the GOP."What those viewers heard," according to the MRC analysis, "was a version of the shutdown story that could easily have emanated from Barack Obama’s own White House."“This current government shutdown traces its history back to a determined core of GOP House members who are vehemently against Obamacare and were willing to shut down the government because of it,” Brian Williams said on the Oct. 14 broadcast of "NBC Nightly News," MRC's Rich NoyesOf the 124 stories broadcast on the ABC, NBC and CBS nightly newscasts about the shutdown from Oct. 1 through Oct. 15, the study found 41 blamed Republicans or conservatives for the impasse, 17 blamed both sides and none specifically blamed Democrats.
not much is going to influence those who oppose did you notice of those 124 stories there was no mention of Fox broadcasting one, they only feel a responsibility to keep the Republicans in a good place to continue their brainwashing of their base the same plan that started in the 70's.
"I know you have the counter on your screen right now that talks about how many hours we've been in the shutdown," Republican Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, a tea party conservative, said on CNN on Oct. 10. "I would suggest that CNN also put up a counter of the debt clock, about how quickly we're accumulating debt. It's frightening when people see how fast that's accumulating."Fox News' approach to covering the shutdown, on the other hand, was to pretend it wasn't a shutdown at all. According to the cable news network, it was more of a "slimdown."
since the right caused it they could not admit that to their base then the whole 5 years of lies would start to unravel and they would find out O'Reilly really isn't looking out for the folks, saying slimdown and still blaming the Pres. makes him look good to their base if it were true he did what the couldn't again he made govt smaller, reason does not work with a hate filled mind you tend to contradict yourself.
