Fitch downgraded the United States' top-tier credit rating by
a step on Tuesday, citing a growing federal debt burden and
an "erosion of governance" that has manifested in debt limit
standoffs.
The decision sparked a fiery rebuttal from the White House,
with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying the move
"defies reality."
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a separate statement
that she "strongly" disagreed with Fitch as well, calling
the change "arbitrary and based on outdated data."

Usually, the very ones who CREATED the problems are
the first to piss on anyone taking NOTE of said
problems ....
And that's what we're seeing here.
Oh, forget your "Red"/"Blue" Press Bias shit about
this story - it's not a US source, a big enough
thing to make the foreign press .....
