In an interview with Politico, Senator Harry Reid argued that the media is being unfair to Democrats in its coverage of the shutdown. Reid said he believes that there is no way someone viewing the situation objectively could conclude that Democrats are at fault for the shutdown.
You and other journalists have a real shortcoming in that you are trying so hard to be fair that you are unfair, Reid said. Democrats have had almost nothing to do with the problems here. Its all Republicans.
The shutdown of about 15 percent of government activity began last Tuesday. Since then, Reid has led a unified Democratic caucus in the Senate against any compromise bills passed by the House, much to the frustration of House Republicans. Reid has even turned down meeting with Republicans to discuss a compromise.
Media Research Center, a conservative media-watchdog group, found that in 39 stories in the two weeks leading to the shutdown, CBS, ABC, and NBC blamed Republicans 21 times for failing to reach a budget agreement, both parties four times, and didnt once blame the Democrats. In the 14 other instances, the reports blamed nobody.
Reid said he believes that there is no way someone viewing the situation objectively could conclude that Democrats are at fault for the shutdown.
Did Obama state that he would NOT NEGOTIATE with Republicans?
Is he not a Democrat? Well Harry, I think the public is smart enough to see the reality of the situation...
Did you ever notice that they never talked about her twin brother? Sure can't blame them. I bet she couldn't stand him! ;-)
Poor harry reid get grumpy when his crappy diaper needs changing.
ROFL!!
Those two could easily pass for identical twins. Heck, I’m sure she’s ashamed of him and would have used that gun on him, I understand she was a conservative Democrat.
Now that takes the cake! I suppose not having 100% advantage in controlling the news isn’t fair. Having a near lock on all but 1 major news network must not be enough for him. Reid is just pathetic.
I bet she'd be a TEA Party supporter today.

I thought Boehner was the crybaby? Boohoo, poor Harry. If new sources like Politico published the truth Reid would have been out on his ear and in prison years ago. And Reid knows it.
“WHY WOULD WE GIVE A DAMN ABOUT CANCER STRICKEN LITTLE GIRL WHEN SEIU UNION GOONS AT NELLIS ARE HOME AND HAVE PROBLEMS OF THEIR OWN”? THAT IS WHY AMERICA HATES YOUR GUTS HARRY!
Translation:
Harry Reid is telling the lapdog media....you are not hitting the gop hard enough.....
My plan isn’t working.....you are my attack dogs...start doing your job

That's a hot one! Now tell us about the one where Democrats were for the Civil Rights act in the 1960's. And how ALL the scientists have a consensus on Global Warming.
It's a wonder his head didn't explode from a lie so tremendous.
There's enough power in a lie that size to cause the Earth to spin off its axis.
He has never ever been correct in any of his public statements...ever.
I wonder if he had ever made a true or a correct statement in his private life before he became a corrupt politician?
Anyone from Nebraska ever see this traitor? I wonder if he is in state or in D.C. sucking up via lobbying.
I see it differently as the awareness of your teachings has them on guard & engaged. That's good news.
Keep in mind that it took a ton of makeup to make Irene Ryan look as ugly as dingy.
LOL!

I want a whooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeee bunch of what he is smoking.
