So they invent it.
IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO Y'ALL

Media can't fully take anyone's side as they can't offend potential viewers. No matter how full of shit the other side is.
So it becomes "fair and balanced" no matter how many hoops you have to jump through.
The consequences of media running for profit rather than for truth.
Ehh I wouldn't go that far. Yes some shitty outlets are but a significant number place the blame on Trump where it belongs.'Twas inevitable that the media would spin this into the "Democrat Shutdown."
i mean thats the thing, is that basically thats circular logic that makes no senseI kiiiind of understand what they might be going for with this - e.g. Democrats holding firm is why this issue hasn't been resolved.
But, that is horribly worded and it doesn't even strike me as something that needs to be fact checked.
Disappointing.
It's the consequence of their hyper fear of being too liberal, so they just distort actual reality. It's maddening and cowardly and it's going to hurt people.
To paraphrase Orwell, cliches (in politics and elsewhere) are just packets of aspirin to keep the brain anesthetized.I wonder how much world history has been influenced by cliche phrases. Like people doing dumb shit because you have to strike while the iron is hot.
I love all of you guys in Etcetera, but it is kind of funny to see us accuse others of not being able to have a nuanced view.
