CNN analysis piece: Impeachment remains off the table for now as focus turns to debates next week

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/26/politics/robert-mueller-testimony-democratic-debates-impeachment/index.html

The Point: As Mueller moves off the proverbial chess board and impeachment remains off the table for now, it puts a perfectly timed spotlight on next week's Democratic debates in Detroit. Game on!


Just posting this because this is not at all an accurate analysis and shows that blatant attempts at disinformation are ongoing, as the House Judiciary Committee formally announced an impeachment investigation on the very day this was posted! At best, this is an attempt to gin up ratings for the debates next week (poor form). At worst, it is outright shilling for Dotard.

To say that impeachment is "off the table" when everyone from Speaker Pelosi on down has said that it is not is honestly outrageous.

I've noticed the corporate media shilling hard against impeachment the past few days FYI.

We need a platform from which to broadcast real news and not pundits' guesses.

"I've noticed the corporate media shilling hard against impeachment the past few days"

I've noticed that too. And it feels as if there is something or someone powerful behind the scenes altering the storyline. I fear that there are some powerful forces who will again change the results of this election. Something like what "Cambridge Analytica" did in the last one.

I just watched "The Great Hack" on Netflix which is about Cambridge Analytica and how they manipulated data behind the scenes. I feel there is something or someone who is manipulating things on a big scale. We need to be very careful this election. There is a lot at risk and some will stop at nothing to get control, whether that be Trump or whoever.

"off the table."

Do they really think their choice to cover a story or not determines whether something is happening?

A very revealing take.

saying dems are in inquiry. AP radio news sometimes has the republican spin sometimes they get it right.
