CNN, MSNBC Say ‘Impeachment’ 222 Times in One Day( Impeachment For What?)
Townhall.com ^ | August 23, 2018 | Bill D'Agostino

Liberal cable news outlets evidently had their own fairy tale ending in mind when former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations: impeachment. On Wednesday, CNN and MSNBC reporters, anchors, and paid contributors used the word an absurd 222 times in 18 hours.

MRC analysts examined all CNN and MSNBC coverage between 6:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on August 22, counting every use of the word “impeach,” “impeachment,” or some permutation thereof. Analysts found 114 instances of the term on MSNBC and 108 on CNN, for a total of 222 total uses of the word.

There were no shows on either network in which the term was not uttered at least once. CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon and MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Rachel Maddow exercised the most restraint, with each host using the term only once in their allotted hour.

A number of hosts brought in Congressional Democrats to lobby them in the direction of impeaching President Trump. On CNN’s New Day, host John Berman pushed liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren: “Is that grounds for impeachment?”

Later, Wolf Blitzer suggested to Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes on The Situation Room: “Do you think it would be appropriate to immediately begin impeachment proceedings based on what you’ve just learned, for example, from Michael Cohen?”

On MSNBC’s 6 p.m. ET The Beat, fill-in host Ayman Mohyeldin nudged New York Representative Hakim Jeffries: “In the spring, you said that Democrats have ‘no interest in going down the road to impeachment.’ Is that still case? Should Democrats and members of Congress consider impeachment against this President?”

So prominent was the topic of impeachment that Ali Velshi began his hour of MSNBC Live with an in-depth presentation on the process – which he embarrassingly bungled.

What follows is a video compilation which captures the enthusiasm with which the cable outlets discussed impeachment yesterday:

They can’t believe they can’t brainwash the entire country by their sheer volume and repetition.

Repeat the lie over and over . . . and over

They are totally ignorant and want to share that ignorance with LIVs to turn against Trump

Nothing more than that

Two scoops of ice cream? Liking his steaks well done? They don’t need actual grounds, they’ll make something up if they get a majority.

I wonder how many people even know what “ impeachment” is?
Or that Bill Clinton was actually impeached but not convicted and retained his office

impeachment on hearsay from a federal defendant getting bought off by the court to get a plea deal. Remarkable chain of absolutely no evidence other than 'the defendant said that a party told him', any 3 horse town judge would have to roll his eyes at that.

:: Impeachment For What? ::

Easy-peasy. All the articles have to say is the Constitutionally proscribed “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”. Even the Constitution does not define that or asks for individual charges.

They have adopted the Josef Goebbels method of propaganda, I see.

Chris Mathews looks links like he’s going for a Mudd-level meltdown. I’ve voting this Fall in part to support Pres. Trump and in part to punish the MSM. I want to see people like Mathews literally breakdown and/or explode on camera.

The MSM is trying for Josef Goebbels, but they’re achieving George Costanza
