and speaking of Kat television contracts media coverage
around the government shutdown has been absolutely horrific it was pretty bad
around Syria
it was pretty bad for a long time years around Obamacare and it continues to be
really really bad around the government shutdown so let's get into doubt
Fox News is taking the the point of view that basically there is no
republican cause shut down here what we have is
republicans very responsibly causing a
a slimmed-down up government as slim down is the chairman we actually have a
screenshot from the Fox News website
if you were looking at the Fox News website yesterday you might think that
you were living literally in a different universe than the one where everyone is
talking about this government shutdown that republicans have caused and
box I guess we shouldn't be surprised that this is what they did Louis
but it it is representative love the total lack of realism and reality that
is presented
in in much of what is corporate media but particularly
right-wing corporate media ironically on FOX television they couldn't ignore the
fact that there was shut down completely
but on the website they were really drawing attention to this is a really
big thing
there's kind of a slimmed-down going on Lewis yeah
that's interesting I mean I I can understand Fox wanting to
are wanted to go in that direction i mean but at the same time
I would have predicted that they would have just blasted this
everywhere put it up all over the place and said look what's happening with this
president
right the two options were pretend it's not happening
or just blame Obama for it and we'll get to that part but
saying that this was a slimmed-down that could actually be good for the
government because it how much waste there is in government is a kind of like
saying
anorexia is a type of diet right where
refusing to eat is in the diet it will kill you
calling the rift for the Republican forced shutdown of the government
over a democratically passed law a slimmed-down is kinda the same thing
yeah well I guess in a manner of speaking a democratically passed law
caused republicans you are forced to shut down
so there's a connection there but it's just kinda not responsible to put it
that way
get certainly not responsible at all
