Steve ("Ignorance is like an orgasm" Doocy is saying: "It's utterly incomprehensible why all the media outlets are blaming the Republican House for the government shutdown. That's the last thing they want. . . . Not one Republican has ever embraced the idea of shutting down the government. . . EVER! . . . It's clearly Obama and the Democrats who wanted the shutdown so they could have their lapdogs in the press blame the Republicans and drive them out of power. . . . That's the only reason I can see for the media's current position. . . Otherwise, it would be utterly baffling. . . . baffling!"
*********************************************************
Above CAPTION is based (though rephrased and tweaked) on what this hand-puppet was saying this morning (10/2/13).
By contrast, count the times the Republicans actually and repeatedly called for a shutdown in the following Rachel Maddow clip from Huffington Post. They called for a shutdown before they even had an issue and, of course, it didn't stop there:

On last edit, Media Matters recently posted their coverage of Fox's treatment of the blame for the Shutdown which may prove helpful:
