Let the Sunday morning propaganda machines begin
The lies and the spin machines in high gear as each side blames the other for the fucked up mess they have created.

2. both sides are responsible for the outcome? equally? probably not but let's not pretend...
Obama's love affair with republican combined with lots of democratic party member votes got us where we are. There is no innocent side or innocent victims in congress or the white house.

3. This is a teabagger downgrade
No questions, no other to blame. They were willing to take this country to default to protect the tax cuts for the rich.

The Democrats caved to save the nation and now you want to blame them?

4. Rachel Maddow is doing great. She's correcting the lies as fast
as she can. But there is plenty of finger-pointing going on.

5. Watch for "Blame Democrats, Give Republicans A Free Pass" Or False Equivalency
The false equivalency narrative is especially common because it sounds so darn objective. You aren't taking sides. The Democrats and the Tea Party equally to blame.

Then, after the Sunday news, watch the masses run to the message boards and repeat the corporate media narrative.

1. Blame Democrats, Give Republicans a free pass.
2. False equivalency - Sure the Republicans have some of the blame, but so do the Democrats..." The debt limit crisis is the fault of both parties.

The Fourth Estate is dead. Now, we just have the Sunday propaganda, and we can't escape it. Even here.
