This is a completely transparent presentation and everyone should watch the hearings themselves, not wait for someone with their own viewpoint to tell us what we saw. That way lies disaster and an invitation to become an autocracy, not a democracy.
Thank you. The problem is never the media, but the way the message is presented. If the hearings seem to swing either way, it's because of the raw facts being shown. All of the media outlets are carrying exactly the same show. The only difference is in how they want you to interpret the facts.

They would all be welcome to speak, as would Jordan, Stone, Flynn, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Pillow Fool, or any of the Congressfolks who asked for pardons. Some of them have been specifically invited and even subpoenaed, and refused to talk UNDER OATH. That is a major factor in choosing who to believe.

OH I'd love for some of those to testify under oath - the ones who constantly gave us hopium and "2 more weeks!!!" and all that baloney. only to disappoint us.. Like Lin Wood and Sidney Powell and that pillow guy, UGHHHHH!!! they turned out to have NOTHING and kept pushing forward the date when they'd have 'success" .. ugh. some people still kept hanging on. I decided eff that. and watched the others hang on by a thread. UGHHHHH.

Oh i get it now, thanks! Plus a person has to listen without looking for a confirmation bias. that'll get them every time !! but i cannot abide some of these folks on the other side as they are soooo over the top - Joy Reid from MSNBC,, ughhhh so racist, ALWAYS 100% horrid attitude and racist as heck.

All of those are simply opposite sides of the radical media.

Maybe the problem is the facts "hate Trump."
- on that claim, some people do hate Trump and attacked him at every chance,, even the good that he did accomplish.

Thats the thing, if one is biased towards a person, they will speak in that frame of mind. however, we as listeners can hear what they say. If a person is 80% standing up for the Dems, then I can only conclude that they will favor the Dems. If I hear 0% of good words which would be truthful words come out of their mouth, that furthers my opinion that they are one-sided.

Pulitzers mean nothing, if the group favors one side vs the other. Im skeptical. you see all the folks who have won the Presidental Medal of Freedom, and the people who get the Nobel Peace Prize, ugh some of them have won it because of leftist point of view on why they deserved it. Obama got one or two of those and ugh, i disagree that he should have.

so my point is, if we have a discerning sense of being able to hear these people and being able to cut thru the b.s. we might have success. but i dont want to listen to a biased for the left speaker. they wont present the whole picture in truthfulness. I guess to be honest i have a bias against the left and Dems as they have proven by words and actions to be harmful and worse.

This needs to be repeated, for those arguing that there was no cross-examination......

I don't watch the news hosts, anchors, commentators or anything. I go right to the source: the witnesses testifying under oath.

Simple, no middle-men/women. I don't need someone else to spin anything for me on any side. I can understand it by seeing and hearing it for myself.

Nah, Republicans didn’t start impeachment talks almost immediately and haven’t been on a 5+ year goosechase to get him, and through a pandemic….but the consequences of voting for a demented old man that has no idea what he’s doing because of voting with hurt feelings sure have shown through.
