'Liberal' media

[pasithea]

Notice how on news.google.com even though it's been ~12 hours now, there isn't a single mention of the impeachment of George Bush? Kucinich spent nearly 5 hours itemizing 35 crimes that Bush has committed in office and openly called him a liar and war criminal on the floor of congress.

Nary a peep in the news. You have to know about it and search for it. Such 'liberal' media we have.

WTG Kucinich! Even before this, I would totally have voted for you for president. Too bad you're an actual liberal and not a moderate and won't ever have a snowball's chance in Hell. :(

The 'news' frequently reports on things that aren't going to happen. Scandal is their meat and potatoes. Scandal at the top level of the government should be front-page news across every rag in the country.

Please compare and contrast with Clinton Impeachment.

THAT is what is sickening about it.

Also, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it? If people don't hear about it, they won't write their congresspeople in support or opposition and if it's obviously not important to the people, a congressperson isn't going to 'rock the boat' so they won't take a position on it one way or the other.

One could opine that the reason the Clinton impeachment got such coverage was that the accusations were laughably trivial and would never lead to a crisis of confidence in the institution of president of the United States. But real crimes... that's the prerogative of the president, of course.
