Fox News Website Trumpets Government 'Slimdown,' Not Shutdown

[johnd83]

"Shutdown"? What's a "shutdown"?

If you were looking at the Fox News website, you might think you were in a different universe than the one where everyone is talking about a government shutdown.

What we have, according to the network, is a "slimdown." The government's not frozen and crippled -- it's just losing a little weight!

Could it be any more clear that this was the goal all along?

5. They lead the echo chamber. But this is just bizarre.

Do they really think they alone can redefine this as a "slimdown?" Ailes has lost it.

1984 is very much here.
