I'm Craig DeGrelly. Here on Media Miss Minute, we look at two stories largely ignored by partisan media outlets, starting today with a story being missed by the left

Democrats have blocked a GOP-backed defense spending bill aimed at funding military personnel during the government shutdown

Thursday's vote of 50 to 44, falling well under the 60 votes required to move forward
