Now that the nation has heard the President explain how he wants to address our immigration crisis, and we have all enjoyed the comic relief offered by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in lieu of a serious response, the media have launched a propaganda campaign they hope will pull the Democrats from the ditch they have driven into regarding “the wall.” But our friends in the Fourth Estate are approaching the project in a manner that merely highlights how divorced they are from the world beyond the Beltway. Their primary focus involves the heartrending human tragedy of … idle bureaucrats.
But most Americans regard “idle” and “bureaucrat” as synonyms. For those of us who have spent our lives toiling in the private sector, where employees are expected to produce things, “nonessential worker” is a concept that has no meaning. In the real world beyond the Beltway, businesses hire people because they have some “essential” task that must be performed.

I love how they imagine every federal employee has the same job, which apparently is doing nothing.
How divorced from reality is thos author to draw that conclusion?
Nope not biased at all.

I agree it's biased but not that the author equates all federal employees. My reading of it would suggest he equates all non-essential federal employees.
I agree it's biased but not that the author equates *all* federal employees. My reading of it would suggest he equates all *non-essential* federal employees.

Unfortunately both are punished equally.
