Discussion: Senate Leaders Agree To Bring Pair Of Bills To Floor That Could End Government Shutdown

I just sent this Letter to the Editor.

To the Editor,

In the past when Congress and the President are at loggerheads the media would speculate if Congress would override a veto.

Now the media promotes McConnell’s propaganda that he won’t hold a vote on any funding bills unless Trump will sign them without any mention of the ability of Congress to veto override a veto.

When did our national media deem veto overrides to be passé and why?

The media helped elect Trump. Now it is helping extend the shutdown by portraying this as a partisan issue instead of a national security issue which can be resolved by overriding Trump’s veto. Why is the media complicit in this attack on America?
