Analyst's note: Might as well see what is really going on with our "lame-stream media" ... and NO America did NOT shut down. It is time we all learn, to include the Senate, that Spending is the Constitutional prerogative of the House. Not the Congress, the House.
See What government closure means for you. Basically, the gov't will not be spending our money on frivolous, unconstitutional activities.

Rush Limbaugh took the media to task Monday for foisting all the blame of a potential government shutdown on Republicans. He mocked pieces like The Washington Post's "You will no longer be able to watch this baby panda online if the government shuts down" and this Associated Press articlefor basically saying Republicans want a shutdown and "hate the zoo" and all the rest of it.
Limbaugh predicted in the next few days the media would write piece after piece about all the programs getting shut down during the shutdown and blaming Republican intransigence on the whole thing. He referred to the AP article above as "basically a press release from the Democrat party" that accuses Republicans of hating Obama so much they're willing to let millions of people go without health care.
"It's just flat-out journalistic malpractice. There is no pretense--there's not even an objective pretense here to portray the Republican position on this anywhere near accurately."
