News Media Begin to Shift Blame from Trump to Pelosi

Trump and other repugs have been trying to shift the public's attention away from Trump's crimes by continually criticizing Pelosi for her delay in sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.

Now the mainstream news media is starting to do the same. They rarely mention the charges against Trump, or Nancy's insistence that the senate conduct a full, fair, and impartial trial. Instead, they are saying that her slowness in acting is politically motivated, and that the delay is unfair to Trump.

This could put Nancy in a bad situation and eventually pressure her into letting the repugs have their way.

I hate the mainstream news media more and more everyday.

A bumper sticker I saw once. It shuts up right wingers when they start in on their "liberal media" BS.

Your comment:

"I hate the mainstream news media more and more everyday."

You and you alone allow the media to control your emotions. I never can understand why people willingly make themselves slaves to others or some entity like the media.

I'm not hearing it like that but, I pretty much stick to MSNBC and the reporters I follow on Twitter. I suppose I'm in a bubble/echo chamber but it keeps me sane.

I've even seen articles where the newsperson/journalist (s) has said a mea culpa about getting it wrong about Nancy.
