so then we get what lewis et alluded to which is what about
we do cover the government shutdown but we just blame everything on Obama and
Democrats and that's what Sean Hannity tried to do
this is what Sean Hannity said during his program last night
on me now from our nation's capital senators Lindsey Graham and John
Barrasso
ugh I said the six senator gramm let me see if I understand that's the president
will talk to Syria ran flat near putting but he won't talk to members a
love the house um representatives of the US Senate as do I have that right
okay so you see the strategy right Louis which is hey
the president just won't talk to anybody the problem is that you know those fox
news alerts that explode on the screen every few minutes when you're watching
Fox News
one came up a few minutes after this moment and it basically cut hannity
analyze
saying very clearly that President Obama actually called
or top congressional leaders that night to try to negotiate in to talk
so literally up Fox News
calling out box news on their allies Fox News can even get their lies
straight enough that they don't conflict and and show
the quite clearly that they're just making stuff up hey what happens all the
time that's that's happened or material David eye-catching that stuff
it is entirely possible one person wrote to me
that the headline about Obama calling the congressional leaders was displayed
as breaking news
in kind of an attempt to make it seem like well when Hannity said
Obama wasn't talking to anybody it was like four minutes earlier
and we didn't yet know that that was actually happening but it's not true
because the
all sorts of news wires were reporting before the nine PM eastern
start time Sean Hannity's program that President Obama was talking to
congressional leaders so
not only that but Democrats have asked republicans to talk
about the budget 18 times since April
it's amazing that people are watching this stuff and then parroting the
talking point and if you do look at Twitter Search
and Twitter may not even be a good representation of the real balance
opinions in the country so
Twitter users may lean one way or another so it may not even be totally
accurate
but twitter is filled with people who clearly buy into these talking points
Luis that it's all Obama
Obama's not talking to everybody people believe this stuff and they talk about
it at their water coolers at work
right people just that you know whatever their
their media resources are it babe Revie don't go
much farther than that a just and their comfort zone in repeat whatever they see
in the one or two out what's the use
