ABC Goes Full DNC During Government Shutdown Preview
28th September 2025
After a Friday World News Tonight report on the possibility of a government shutdown, ABC might need to rename its network DNC because throughout the segment, host David Muir and White House correspondent Rachel Scott combined to utter the phrase “Democrats say” three times while never once using the equivalent “Republicans say.”
Muir kicked things off by declaring, “We turn next tonight to this potential government shutdown, now just five days away. The White House threatening mass firings of federal workers. Democrats say they’re fighting to reverse Medicaid cuts and to keep health insurance premiums from going up for millions. Democrats say the White House has refused to meet. Here’s Rachel Scott.”
