Elizabeth Warren is part of the group of left-wing senators urging fellow Democrats to keep the government shutdown. At the same time, she spends all day, every day creating social media content blaming every problem under the sun on President Trump. I’m not exaggerating. Almost every one of her tweets is an attack on the president for one thing or another. A few days ago, Warren decided to comment on this story from last week:
YouTube TV viewers can no longer see Disney channels including ABC and ESPN after the two sides failed to agree on a new content distribution deal.
Other channels that vanished from Google’s pay TV platform include the Disney Channel, FX and Nat Geo.
Google’s pay TV platform said in a blog post late Thursday that Disney had followed through on a threat to suspend its content amid the negotiations.
In Warren’s hands, this became yet another warning sign about the power of big corporations and Donald Trump. Here’s the tweet she published Tuesday.
You might not be able to watch Monday Night Football tonight.
Why? When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels.
That’s what’s happening here.
And what’s Trump done about it? He’s let them get away with it. https://t.co/hnAOR6R1no

Today the Washington Post editorial board decided to point out that everything she’s saying in that tweet is nonsense.
“When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels. That’s what’s happening here.”
That is not, in fact, what’s happening here.
Pay TV companies negotiate contracts to carry channels. Disney wants YouTube TV to pay it more to carry its channels, which include ABC and ESPN. YouTube TV says Disney is asking too much. Unable to make a deal, YouTube TV stopped carrying Disney-owned channels when the previous contract expired on October 30.
YouTube TV did not “cut off” the channels because its parent company, Google, is powerful. It would prefer not to have done so because it’s customers want to watch them. It’s offering subscribers a $20 credit if the blackout drags deeper into the month. Two companies are debating the terms of a contract, and temporary blackouts due to carriage disputes have happened many times before.
As for Trump letting them “get away with it” the Post said that’s nonsense too.
Get away with what? YouTube TV is trying to keep costs down for its customers, while Disney is trying to get the most value for its products. Buyers want prices to be lower, and sellers want prices to be higher. Such is life.
Capitalism, how does it work?
Seriously, this is how things have worked for Warren’s entire life. The idea that this is a new development connected to President Trump’s unwillingness to insert the federal government into a deal between corporations over broadcast rights is pure gaslighting. There’s no reason the government should be involved here.
Every minor consumer inconvenience is not a problem for government to solve. Google and Disney can figure this out on their own, as can consumers who decide which TV bundles to purchase.
The editorial ends with the Post saying that, of course, Warren knows all of this. She’s not dumb, she just hopes the readers of her tweets are.
And frankly, that could go for a lot more of her tweets than the one about Monday Night Football. For instance, here she is ranting about how Trump is cutting off SNAP benefits and making little kids go hungry.
Donald Trump is doing what no president has done before, blocking food assistance during a shutdown.
Democrats are fighting to fund SNAP so little kids, veterans and seniors don’t go hungry.

This is, of course, more partisan nonsense. Warren herself has voted more than a dozen times to shut down the government. She is the reason salaries and benefits like SNAP are not being paid. Even CNN has called Democrats out on this specific issue of SNAP benefits.
Even CNN isn’t buying Democrats’ lies about the shutdown anymore.

Whether or not Trump uses some surplus money to fund SNAP benefits for a few more weeks, the real problem is that Democrats have decided they can capitalize on this shutdown they chose to start and have continued to extend by blaming every problem they create on Trump. They are the ones trying to turn scarcity (which their votes created) into partisan gain.
Again, Warren isn’t so dumb she actually believes what she’s saying. She knows her party is responsible for the shutdown. She knows she is personally responsible for the shutdown. She has voted for this more than a dozen times. But in her endless stream of social media posts every problem is Trump’s fault. She’s just lying through her teeth.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
