Politico Minimizes Democrat Government Shutdown As ‘Lowkey’

Why Troubling News:

This article discusses the recent government shutdown with an impartial conservative bias, often leaning towards blaming one side over the other. Only days into the new government shutdown, the author of this article expresses little hesitation when claiming the Democrats are at fault. The reason for this shutdown, and for most others in the past, is the result of direct policy disagreement within Congress; an indication of tense political tension in the nation. It would appear, according to this article and others, that the subject of healthcare has stifled the spending bill, and instead of logically claiming that both parties have contributed to this disagreement, the author exhibits certainty that only one is at fault. The bias is not the prominent issue I have with this article; instead, the blaming of one party over another during a process that is inherently bipartisan appears more troubling. Additionally, the author uses the fact that Kamala Harris supported fighting Trump with a shutdown as evidence for why his opinion about the cause of the shutdown is correct. Evidence such as this, including citing the website's own articles as sources, is not reliable or convincing to an audience.
