TODAY ON MEDIA MISS MINUTE — DEMOCRATS HAVE BLOCKED A DEFENSE SPENDING BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS TO GET PAID DURING THE SHUTDOWN…
AND A CROWD OF 700 BUT NOT A SINGLE WITNESS?
THE LATEST ON A DEADLY MASS SHOOTING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
HELLO I’M CRAIG NIGRELLI.
HERE ON MEDIA MISS MINUTE — WE LOOK AT TWO STORIES LARGELY IGNORED BY PARTISAN MEDIA OUTLETS…
STARTING TODAY WITH A STORY BEING MISSED BY THE LEFT — DEMOCRATS HAVE BLOCKED A G-O-P BACKED DEFENSE SPENDING BILL AIMED AT FUNDING MILITARY PERSONNEL DURING THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
THURSDAY’S VOTE OF 50 TO 44 FALLING WELL UNDER THE 60 VOTES REQUIRED TO MOVE FORWARD.
ONLY THREE DEMOCRATS VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE BILL.
THE REST SAID THEY WOULD NOT BACK THE STANDALONE DEFENSE MEASURE WITHOUT MORE COMPREHENSIVE GUARANTEES ON LONG-TERM GOVERNMENT FUNDING.
NOW TO A STORY BEING MISSED BY THE RIGHT — ROUGHLY 700 PEOPLE WERE THERE WHEN A MASS SHOOTING TOOK PLACE AT A SOUTH CAROLINA BAR, LEAVING FOUR DEAD AND 16 INJURED… BUT AUTHORITIES SAY THEY DON’T HAVE **ANY** WITNESSES.
THEY SAY THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AFTER A DISPUTE BETWEEN A SMALL GROUP ESCALATED INTO A MELEE AND RANDOM GUNSHOTS.
THE SHERIFF THERE SAYS THE LACK OF WITNESS COOPERATION IS HAMPERING THE INVESTIGATION — BUT HE BELIEVES MANY WHO WERE PRESENT MAY BE SCARED TO SPEAK UP FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION.
