This article is not so much misinformation as it is an obvious extension of in-group politics. The author of this article has clearly chosen a team they are rooting for, making the article initially biased to the audience. Not to downplay any of the current Republican administration's actions that have led to the recent government shutdown, those are supported and apparent, but the author has lost sight of compromise in this delicate situation. Democrats have most definitely played a role in the current government shutdown, even denying specific Republican efforts to end the shutdown, as Republicans have done to Democrats, as well. This issue is primarily partisan and concerns the allocation of funds to different institutions, largely in the health-care sphere, causing both parties to disagree with bipartisan compromises. Republicans blame Democrats for stuffing the health-care funds with partisan policies, and Democrats claim Republicans are not concerned with effective health-care spending. The answer about which party is more liable for this government shutdown is much more nuanced than this article would claim, and both sides are worthy of scrutiny.
