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.
*SNIP**
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.

The Senator Majority Leader, gaffe machine and human canker sore releases a new round of political flatulence in exceeding malodorous mendacity that is his special gift as one third the Democrat braying triumvirate along with Poosy Pelosi and the Sotero Sociopath.

Canker sores can be dealt with and go away after a few days. Reid is like herpes.

Again, he’s playing to his low-information voters and nobody else.
Reid knows what’s going on.

Reid tripped over his double digit IQ while throwing that painted turd to his low information voters.

>> Reid argued that the media is being unfair to Democrats in its coverage of the shutdown.
In other words, Reid is complaining the media is not working hard enough to propagandize on behalf of Democrats.

Because so many in the media are staunch pro-family, fiscal conservatives.
