The stakes are rising ……

On Monday we asked why the Democrats and liberals were using the impeachment word. “Where is the crime” we asked. Well since then new allegations have arisen and yesterday at least, if true, could rise to obstruction of justice.

There is no question in our mind of two things. President Trump’s ego continues to inflict damage on him. We don’t believe he can change. He thought running the government would be like running his business and it is not. For a guy who kept telling us how smart he is, well he surely isn’t doing things in office to prove that. Again if true, who would ask people to leave a meeting so he could talk to the FBI Director alone, and then proceed to encourage him to get past charges on a former cabinet member?
In business you might do that to try and close a deal, running the government is not a business.

That said, the MSM is on a witch hunt. They truly are after the President for two reasons. One he went after them in the campaign and second they were against him and sure he would lose. There is no fairness. Think about the coverage yesterday on the Comey notes they claim he wrote. They never saw the notes, only had someone read it to them on the phone. Do you think they covered (outside FoxNews) this the same way they did the Clinton meeting with Loretta Lynch on the tarmac? Wasn’t that possible obstruction of justice, too?

The assumption from the media is always the rumor is true. They run it so loud and often that even when proven untrue the general population believes it. As an example last week they reported Trump fired Comey because he asked for more money and resources for the Russian investigation. That proved untrue. How many people know that?
Then they reported over and over that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had “threatened to resign” over the firing. That was wrong. Yet for two days these stories dominated the news.
Now we have two more this week.
Did Trump release secret data to the Russians. The media says yes, the administration says no. The public is told he did.
Add the private meeting story today and who knows?

On the media:

With the MSM the general consensus is FoxNews leans right, Msnbc leans left and CNN claims it is right down the middle. We think Fox is closer to the center than given credit, and Msnbc is far left. With CNN we find that claim about “center” is laughable. Here’s a study from the Media Research Center (MRC) released yesterday that you won’t see on the MSM.

Highlights are:
“Much of that airtime consisted of interviews and panel discussions giving their assessment of Trump. MRC tallied 123 appearances by guests or panelists over the course of the day. Many of CNN’s analysts showed up in multiple newscasts, each of which would count as a separate appearance. (There were 77 unique appearances by people identified as CNN analysts or commentators, or 62% of all guests).
