Astonishingly (not, really) we are now weeks into a "government shutdown' and the Corporate Media has next to nothing to say about it.
Here’s a telling sign of where we are: On day 15, there are zero stories about the government shutdown in both the print NYT and print WSJ.

Maybe just wrap this thing up, folks.

The Corporate Media knows this is all the fault of the Democrats and that is why this is remaining hush hush.
Regular people just. Don't. Care. Anymore. Obama closed the govt for over 2 weeks to pass the ACA. The reason everyone is going to have health insurance premiums rise is exactly why the GOP didn't vote for the bill. It was unfinished legislation. It didn't address delivery costs https://t.co/3k21PuVlIu

It's fine to close the government when the Democrats want to do it.
Or any local news outside the beltway https://t.co/Nq9ECeXFXC

Sorry Dems. https://t.co/kwbRRxJ72t
Every time they shut the government down and no one notices we’re reminded of how unimportant most of the Federal government is. https://t.co/qxkjAPW7h6

Isn't that the truth?
It’s clear as day: the Government Shutdown is only a “crisis” when the public thinks the republicans are responsible for it. The media doesn’t care when the democrats cause it. Reject the media entirely. Don’t allow them a sliver of access to anything, especially the PENTAGON https://t.co/DLaGtD0LCf

Nobody cares. 99% of people's lives haven't changed, or been effected. All this is, is proof that government is bloated and needs cut in half, at minimum. Government stops, life goes on. https://t.co/d6Hxa3PXQv

As if any other proof was needed.
What if we had a shutdown and nobody cared https://t.co/JUuSPZWN5x

SO STRANGE https://t.co/PbKZkCOKLW

We should just shut the government down for a month every year, an easy way to cut spending by 8.5% per annum! https://t.co/93xaMb1iP1

What a grand idea!
I was assured the Democrats were winning the messaging war. https://t.co/oKJkgumj81

This is how you know the shutdown is a "Democrat Party problem." https://t.co/mLvXo8KWjW

One of their many problems.
Media coverage would be wall-to-wall 24/7 if this was a Republican-driven shutdown....

It would be a permanent chyron on CNN. https://t.co/BLfTImJzQ3
CNN would have a countdown in the corner of the television screen, 24/7
I completely forget that the government is shut down until I see it mentioned on here lol https://t.co/2iHGCvYDyE
