The media is not doing a very good job on reporting this Trump shutdown

The Republicans were for ending the shutdown before they were against it.

Nancy Pelosi is going to send the same GOP bill back to the Senate that they voted for unanimously. Now they say they will vote against it? What changed?

Obviously, the little meeting with their crooked President yesterday was very persuasive.

This is Donald Trump's shutdown and the Republican Senate is complicit in keeping the government shutdown.

Why is that so difficult for the media to report??

They transitioned from being a heavy on the News and getting it right to heavy on the Infotainment model with what ever sells the most soap.

They are more interested in their bottom line than they are in accurately reporting events.

They can no longer be trusted.
