The journos are at it again. They are paid to pretend that politics is fascinating and meaningful, that they are indispensable members of an indispensable institution without which democracy itself would cease to exist. Some of them actually believe it. Suggestions to the contrary typically result in collective tantrums and self-validating screeds on Twitter, the popular social networking platform.
In this particular instance, our nation's journalists were set off by the (accurate) suggestion, included in the reporting of some of their fellow journalists, that the impeachment hearings taking place in Congress were "dull" and lacked "pizzazz."

I watched a little bit of it while the ex-ambassador was being interviewed. It looked like a SNL skit with Adam Schiff playing like a fool. She did not come across as this great ambassador but as a very uncomfortable woman with a tiny voice that kept saying "No." She knew nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing. Then Adam had the gall to shut a Republican female Rep. down because he did not want her questions to be heard. He was rude and obnoxious. Then they wonder why members of Congress are held in such low esteem.

Speaking of media spinning out of control, Don Henley wrote a neat song called Dirty Laundry. Here's a YouTube from 1985. (You'll sing it all day.) I make my living off the evening news. Just give me something-something I can use,''

Impeachment inquiry hearings would never have started or continue without the fake news media acting like President Trump has been murdering children on the White House lawn. They make the Democrats believe they are winning. Fortunately, enough of this country understands what liars they are and and don’t pay any attention.

I do think - and I agree - they are boring, but it is important to learn how the sausage is made. It reminds me of when I was a kid and you and your friends on the block would decide to "have a club" - no rules or anything - just mostly making it up as you went along, and eventually it petered away.

Andrew, a few things. First, the msm is dispensable. Second, politics is not fascinating nor is it always meaningful. What politics that is allowed to reach us commoners is what the msm chooses for us to hear. Thirdly, get it through your head that America is not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. It is getting old having to constantly remind you and your colleagues. Finally, if the msm was actually doing its job, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, and Strozk would already be sporting their new jumpsuits in the federal penitentiary. And Obie and Billary would have been disgraced forever. And Soros would be under intense international investigation for his crimes against humanity.

That this unconscionable charade is boring or lacks "pizazz" is the least of its deficiencies.

As a pundit pointed out, the democrats have not yet produced a witness. None of the people called to testify witnessed anything! They are just repeating gossip and opinion from other people, who were not witnesses either!
Any democrat with an ounce of integrity would be ashamed to be associated with this clown show! What will Pelosi do now? Her son's involvement is going to be made very public, in spite of this attempt to distract!

Here is the dirty little secret. Nobody watches Democrats. Not on CSPAN, not on Youtube, not anywhere. As soon as they come on, they are muted, or turned off. Nobody can stand to listen, or look at them, not even the Democrats. Please have an objective, impartial panel check this out. I believe the findings will be informative.

It is less that "no one cares" than it is that "no one believes the Dems claims". They have NO actual evidence of any of their ridiculous claims against the President.

Most voters could not place the Ukraine on the map. The great take home lesson was that Democrats love the Ukraine more than the USA.

So far, the only factual Quid Pro Quo (aka, bribe, extortion) that took place in Ukraine was Joe Biden withholding aid to Ukraine to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired.
