    ~ As recent polls have indicated the general population does not trust the news media in the U.S. - especially concerning politics. Mainstream media is obviously tainted to the leftist agenda and not neutral. As far as political coverage they blend opinions with facts to skew the narrative. CNN is almost totally opinion - not "news".
    Personally I have to search around to get information that comes closer to factual. Multiple source from Spain, France, Germany and the BBC are more reliable than ABC/CBS/NBC . Sadly many people still rely on only one news source. Fortunately they are the minority .

    No need, the 2020 elections is fast approaching, they can vent their anger on the ballots. So Senators beware.

    Better than that, I will show you a picture of the guy who, singlehandedly "killed" the New York Times reputation and with it's fall from grace with it went the American journalism industry.

    Current NYT Exec. Editor Dean Baquet

    Goodwin: Remembering when the New York Times had higher standards


    Still, there is no disputing the Times’ historic commitment to journalistic standards. It created the model that others copied.

    Among them was that news and opinion were kept strictly separate. Opinion and commentary had their editors and pages, while straight news articles had theirs. Rarely did the twain meet.

    This arrangement was known internally as the separation of “church and state.” Granted, the concept reflected the paper’s grandiose view of itself, but also captured the importance of the separation.

    Most major newspapers copied this approach and even television, before cable, generally adhered to the idea that opinion and news should be kept separate so the news could be presented free of personal slant.

    Those standards created trust among generations of Times readers, but current editor Dean Baquet abandoned them in a bid to stop Trump. These days, there is virtually nothing in the paper that is impartial.

    Coming Sunday: The defining moment in the collapse of standards at the New York Times.



    From <https://nypost.com/2019/11/26/goodwin-remembering-when-the-new-york-times-had-higher-standards/>



    Nothing about the Times these days is impartial. Nothing.

    On politics, the implications of Baquet’s decision are enormous. One is that readers who subscribe to the Times because of its anti-Trump agenda feel entitled to have it their way. After a spate of mass shootings last summer, the Times put a balanced headline on a story about the president’s consoling remarks. “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism,” the paper said in its first edition of August 6th.

    But a Twitter storm of angry leftists demanded it be changed and Baquet agreed, with the next edition reading, “Assailing Hate, But Not Guns.”

    Days later, Baquet convened a staff meeting where he apologized profusely for the first headline after numerous reporters and editors wondered how such a terrible thing could happen. Many reporters lobbied for even more critical coverage of Trump and wanted stories highlighting what they said is the racism that pervades American society.

    I tried in vain to imagine Abe Rosenthal facing such an opinionated, entitled newsroom. He would have invited them all to find the door.

    Baquet, unfortunately, is in no position to resist, even if he wanted to. He is captive to a monster he created. If he doesn’t serve his readers and staff a daily dose of hate-Trump coverage, he’ll have a revolt — and lose his job.

    He’s already lost something larger. By ending the commitment to fairness and impartiality, Baquet is destroying the credibility of The New York Times. Standards made it the most trusted news organization in America and by trashing those standards, Baquet has turned the Times into a purely partisan outlet.

    It would be tragic enough if his actions had destroyed only the Times. But there is a national crisis of confidence in all media, and the Times no longer offers a solution. It is a major part of the problem.

    Lindsey Graham did not rewrite the Constitution, neither did that idiot Gerald Ford.

    Even if you are so partisan as wishing to remove a [resident from office whom you despise, you must have proof in the form of fact evidence. You cannot impeach a president simply because you assume to know his inner most thoughts and then impeach him because you've surmised his intentions and motivations.

    American jurisprudence doesn't demand exoneration. That is foreign to the way our system works.

    Of course he will be impeached. The dems in the House had decided that a year ago, when they won the 2018 elections. It's just political bullshit, and so, he won't be removed from office.

    Our jurisprudence wouldn't allow the accused to manipulate the evidence and pick and choose which can be made available.

    So if you are honest in our defense of our jurisprudence, and this is not just another hypocritical rant by the right, then you would agree that the president has abused his power as indicated on Article 2 and therefore, should be removed.

    If that is not the case, then don't talk to me about jurisprudence, because it would be obvious you don't know what that means but are just repeating absurd wingnut radio talking points..

    First, love the stupid assumption about wingnut radio talking points. The only talk radio I listen to is NPR.

    Second, my point is that there is never a requirement to prove innocence. The people accusing him need to prove guilt. The thing is, the people accusing Trump took shortcuts, and haven't formally subpoenaed for the evidence that you claim they should have supplied.

    Third, I'm a former neverTrumper, and it's telling that the dems are so corrupt that I'm defending Trump (who I voted against twice in 2016 (primary and general elections)). The only real reason they are trying to impeach is that they got a majority in 2018.

    First of all: you are required when you're the President. So that is false. However, he has been proven guilty!

    What else would you call all documents, all witnesses and all information available pointing to his guilt?

    Why were you a never Trumper? And what is it that suddenly drove you to ignore facts?

    Exactly the opposite: they got a majority in 2018 because the majority of voters wanted him impeached.

    He's a proven criminal. Mueller Report proves it. Every single piece of information about this case proves it. He has confessed abuse of power over and over... publicly, So... you just... saying... that you're a never Trumper might draw some "tears" among your circle of friends. But not here. Here we deal with facts.

    Of course they are, they already have the stories written when impeachment dies in the senate.
