The news media needs to go after Moscow Mitch. They must hold him accountable.

That fucking asshole has been destroying our democracy for years. Now he is fund raising on the issue of impeachment. He and his wife are fucking corrupt and I and many others are tired of his traitor bullshit.

1. The media will sooner start talking again about Hillary's emails.

We're lucky the Trump Administration is as incompetent and blatantly criminal as it is, or else the media would be almost entirely focused on Biden's son and Clinton's emails.

Not nearly enough credit is given to the media for what happened in 2016. Sure, there was Russia and Comey and voter suppression, but the media also played a massive role.

2. To raise money, McConnell vows to 'stop impeachment'

In a Facebook fundraising ad posted this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to end any impeachment proceedings and asked donors for contributions to his 2020 reelection campaign — even though any trial would likely come well before next November. The ad stands in contrast to McConnell’s promise on Monday that he would follow Senate rules and hold an impeachment trial should the House of Representatives impeach Trump ...

3. Moscow Mitch is selling his vote

He has prejudged the impeachment and is selling his vote on the campaign trail. He's the lowest, dirtiest, most corrupt of the Russiapublicans.

4. By declaring tRumps innocence,

or even bullshitting of being impartial, I would find him in contempt.

Next time you get a jury summons, try it. Tell the judge the defendant is guilty during selection.

A little obvious and the judge will be pissed.

This is not how our system works!

5. Yes they do.. if they want any credibility at all.

They should have been after him when he obstructed Obama at every turn, but we've known it for years..This is corporate media and they serve corporations. Not that it's fake news, it's just a super condensed version of truth that leaves out the details. Also leaves out what's happening all over the world in favor of feel good stories that should only be covered locally.

America Strong? What's up with that bullshit, David Muir?

8. Summit Daily News

Don't know if you're in Summit County, Grammy, but I hope you can support my colleagues there at the Summit Daily News. They do great work, as do most of us.

Peace.

10. I'm in Grand right next to Summit.

Summit Daily News is excellent. I really didn’t mean to bash journalists and I’m sorry if it came off that way. Excellent small town journalism in Summit and Boulder and Denver’s Westword. I have the utmost respect for journalists everywhere. It’s America’s for profit network news that’s been so disappointing. But the news is out there for those of us who want to find it. Thank journalism!

6. Mitch is as obvious a tool as Trump. n/t

7. Well, by golly

I did some super-advanced research and found a "news media" piece published yesterday in the Tampa Bay Times.

The House has passed scores of bills only to have them stall in Mitch McConnell’s Senate.]

Send me a PM if you want to know this secret news-finding tool. Hint: It rhymes with "Schmoogle Brews."
