\"\"Is the mainstream media overhyping the economic impact of the government shutdown for political purposes?\u00a0 Of course they are.\u00a0 Once upon a time the mainstream media in the United States at least attempted to maintain a facade of objectivity, but those days are long gone.\u00a0 In this case, they want to stir up as much public resentment against President Trump as possible in order to try to force him to end the government shutdown.\u00a0 And when NBC News breathlessly declared that the U.S. \u201cwould face an economic hellscape\u201d<\/a> if this shutdown stretches on for an extended period of time, their article quickly went viral all over the Internet.<\/p>\n
