| I'm not sure what you expect. They're literally reporting what the administration said. Isn't that their job? Should they not report what the administration said? > it sounds like some kind of serious disaster. That feels like your own interpretation. The President himself seems to think it's not a disaster but rather a good outcome. I think it's notable because a government shutdown does not require any firings. Federal workers are already going without pay during the shutdown, so the firings don't do anything to help. Anyway, there's only so much that can go into a headline. If you read only the headlines and not the stories, you can't expect to get an accurate picture of anything. > Also, why does it matter that federal workers lose their jobs? Seriously? > That happens to people all over the economy too That doesn't make either one of those outcomes good. In any case, CNN also reports on job loss numbers in the economy, even on the front page, just not today. Note that the CNN headlines are typically news from today. That's always the bias of the media: the "new" in "news". By the way, there's another, related story on the CNN front page, "Elizabeth Warren calls for Trump to release the jobs report despite shutdown". |
Anyway, that's just the most prominent story I saw when I first looked at cnn.com. I was being careful not to cherry pick. If you want cherry picked biased factually correct stories, those exist but I won't put in the work to search for them for you. Their existence shows how factually correct stories still mislead people. This is what you don't agree with because you want truthful and factual over fair and balanced.
