Yep.  Partisans chose their sources of Truth selectively.  I'm taking everything with a grain of salt these days.  My problem with the shutdown issues as discussed on this thread based on partisan sources is that things were supposed to come to a head around March 15.  CNN is saying it will come to a head around the end of April, on Trump's 100th day.  Possible shut downs are supposed to be media events.  It was and remains hard to see a stealth shut down.  Thus, I assumed the partisan minor news organizations that were pushing the issue early had a partisan agenda.  CNN starting the media brouhaha with a fairly low level piece one month before the climax feels might more right than the partisan reporting.  While I am hardly a trusting blind follower of CNN, their timing at least of what might happen feels more correct.

Yes, I expect it to be the norm for an extreme partisan to totally dismiss information from a source that says something the partisan doesn't want to here.  I'm just dubious all around, and start trusting stuff only after multiple sources with different angles and agendas start saying similar things.
