If the Media's Trying to Generate Shutdown Sympathy With Takes Like This They Should Think Twice

ImgFlip

The Schumer shutdown continues, all with the added desperate Democrat spin that the Republicans are responsible for the skyrocketing cost of health insurance, and ZERO GOPers voted for the abomination that is the Affordable Care Act.

All that's happening while Democrats are trying to blame Republicans for people finding out that their SNAP cards don't have a balance. Oh, and of course that's also the fault of the billionaires and definitely not due to the fact that the Senate Dems are blocking the clean CR: 

If the senator wants to know why some people can't buy food this month he only needs to go look in a mirror:

The Democrats could reopen the government and fund SNAP whenever they want, but they refuse to give up that "leverage."

Over the weekend Brett wrote about an NBC News story profiling 18 SNAP recipients who are now contemplating "unthinkable tradeoffs." The first thing that caught my attention about that story was "if you're going to profile people who are supposedly going hungry at least make sure some of them aren't quite overweight." NBC also didn't really go out of their way to tell readers how hard some of the people were trying when it comes to making ends meet.

Up next is a video from a local New Mexico media outlet that's making the rounds in which the woman interviewed has been dependent on SNAP for... 30 years: 

Making people dependent on the government for a lifetime is actually a main goal of the Democrats, and it's most certainly not "compassionate" in the long run. 

The quote "it's supposed to be a safety net, not a hammock" comes to mind, but I'm old fashioned like that. Media desperation to generate some sympathy and empathy with stories like this are at risk of having the opposite effect with a lot of people.
