Why doesn't anybody in the media talk about the republican split in congress on spending?

Edited on Wed Nov-23-11 03:13 PM by craigmatic

Five days ago the House and senate passed a bipartisan law on spending which passed the house 298-121. Nearly all dems supported it with half the republicans voting no. Yet there is no talk in the media about the republican split in congress.
Here's the link http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/story/2011-11-17/house-spending-bill-shutdown/51269490/1 .
These guys are imploding but with the state of the so called liberal media in this country you'd never know it.
