    Given the blatant sportsball gamesmanship exposed in the digital era, it seems people are equating blatant lying and utter shamelessness as politicians doing their jobs.

    We ultimately get the media and politicians we choose.

    You realize they DID broadcast Feinstein's opening statement right? How interesting CNN didn't miss covering any of the Dem's statements but somehow managed to miss Graham's.

    SMH that I have to spoon feed this to you.

    Brady/Bregman with those two as the Karl Roves of their admin.

    Instant charisma across all demos while they shrug and quip away the mean parts of their "decisions".

    Belichick is totally Dick Cheney, the ******* running it behind the scenes.

    Curious why you didn't get spoonfed graham's embarrassing opening statement via fox news... didn't they carry it? If they missed it, I am sure oan carried it...

    I did not know that because I don't watch CNN, and prefer to avoid cable news entirely (though it plays silently 24/7 on the TVs around the office here, so I can't really escape). I wouldn't want to bother hearing what the Democrats have to say about the report any more than I want to hear Graham. I don't really care because CNN is a crap news organization and the IG report is irrelevant to me, but thanks for taking the time to educate me on my apparent misunderstanding.

    So i just listened to this in a office with me and the secretary, she is about 65-70 and when she heard she said very quietly I heard on the the news the the democrats were getting the money to run this impeachment by using social security money.

    I said as politely as a could that no thats not true and she repeated twice I heard it on the news.

    I then said in a joking manner that everything you think is the news is not the news and she actually agreed.

    This is a newish job and we have been getting along great, was surprised she said it.

    I wonder who is spreading this "news".

    Yes. Those networks had the journalistic integrity to show the entirety of congressional hearings they cover instead of cherry picking specific portions that only support one narrative like your fav CNN.

    First, what makes you think I watch CNN, or any network news?

    Second, if you don't like CNN, don't watch it. I don't like oan so I don't watch it.

    Oh, and third... fox news and journalistic integrity?

    Because you lept to their defense here so readily. You did that not me.

    I've never watched OAN. I stopped watching CNN in 2016.

    Says the leftie dedicated to insure Clutchfans doesn't miss a tweet supporting Dems and leftists. Such integrity. o_O
    What is it with the left's obsession with Russia and using McCarthyism to slander others?

    MSNBC is copying low budget low class Fox News and people only notice when their side is fouled.

    For the people by the people, and something something **** you pay me.

    1. and 2. I "lept" to their defense? I only ridiculed your post by questioning why you watch CNN since you obviously get riled up by what they report on, and suggested you stick with "news" sources like oan. Or fox.

    4. McCarthyism? LOL. Wow... trump's closeness to putin must really stuck a raw nerve. Though there is an interesting parallel between trump's desire to have a "roy cohn" lawyer...

    3. And btw, when I pitched, I threw right handed. Though I could hit left handed...

    The obsession with Russia has to do with protecting the United States. I understand that is a foreign(pun only half-intended) concept for Republicans and Trump defenders.

    Seriously, you guys should side with the United States instead of Russia. You'd be surprised how freeing it is to not have to do mental gymnastics to defend those that spread Russian propaganda and minimalize espionage attacks against our democracy and elections.

    Seriously, try siding with the US once. You don't have to agree with Democrats on business regulation, taxes, health care, etc. But both parties should be able to agree on protecting the United States. They should be able to agree on that even though the President doesn't.
