This really is a sad state we are in when the media chooses to act ho hum about the horrible government shutdown trump has engineered. The fact that trump claimed responsibility for it and the media is still asking who everyone thinks is responsible for the shutdown underscores my point. Not only are the media acting like this shutdown is a common guilt of both parties but they are not putting any pressure on trump who on television claimed that he owns the government shutdown, https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/04/politics/shutdown-donald-trump-nancy-pelosi/index.html. Regardless of trump changing his tune and now blaming democrats for the shutdown, he claimed and it and it is still reality here on January 16th.
So where is the media except reporting trumps flip flops on who is to blame? They seem to have given up being the watchdog of democracy and for that they have earned a spurning from me. Now not all media is involved in this collaboration to keep the truth from our citizenry, but too many of our national media are acting like this is no big deal that our government has been shutdown now for 26 days. That trump claimed credit for it and told the senate that he would not sign the house passed bill to reopen less his wall demand money surely is enough evidence that trump is causing this shutdown in order to extort his wall money. That the senate will not even vote on the house bill to see if trump will actually veto it is further evidence of republicans in the senate being co-conspirators in the government shutdown.
The media cannot blame democrats for not trying to open the government since the democratic controlled house has passed numerous bills to that effect. So the majority silence by the media on the truth as to whom is responsible for the shutdown reeks of something akin to collusion itself. The media should be hammering trump and senate republicans on their failure to lead our nation and for not doing their jobs to keep our government operational and functioning but that is not what is happening. Our society is being exposed as a corrupt and unintelligible one because so few who are in control, outside of democrats, are of a care what this is doing to us. The media in it's part is just playing along as if this is normal and just a negotiation that is acceptable. Shame on the media and shame on republicans for holding our nation hostage.

I want to see daily headlines saying
AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE: DAY 25
Just like they did to Carter during the Iran hostage taking.
This is not about a wall, its about democracy, and what are valid tactics.
Right On! :)
