Re: Media Bias

Media Bias, or Headline BS?

first headline on Yahoo homepage when I open it up
Quote:
Omarosa ready to testify at Trump's impeachment trial
Looking at that headline do you think that there is an impeachment trial of Trump already in progress?

I really hate Headline writers, because I don't want to lump them in with media bias, I just think they are TMZ journalist wannabees

Politics

Donald Trump has been warned the “countdown” to impeachment is underway, after his former lawyer implicated the president in crimes committed during the 2016 election.

On Thursday, Mr Trump publicly addressed the prospect of impeachment for the first time, claiming the market would “crash” if his presidency was threatened.

“I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.”

Mr Trump’s comments came after Michael Cohen, his long-time legal “fixer”, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including two counts of campaign finance violations, which he said he committed at the direction of the president.

Cohen admitted paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both alleged to have had extramarital affairs with Mr Trump.

Tom Cole, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, warned it was "too soon" to begin impeachment proceedings, but said: "If something comes out that is clear and convincing and impeachable, I think members will act."

Al Green, a Democratic congressman who has previously filed articles of impeachment against Mr Trump, suggested he may do so again following Cohen’s guilty plea.

"I think the president has to realise that the countdown to impeachment has already started,” he said. "He, at some point, will have to choose if he will face impeachment or if he will resign. It will be his choice. The congress will have no choice but to act.”

"At some point, we have to act."

I agree with this but it's nothing new and it's definitely not just a liberal or conservative thing.

Having grown up in the NY suburban area I use to read about two to three papers a day. In the 60's and 70's there were a boat load of NY papers and NJ . Still the NY Post and the NY Daily News were the Kings of Headline BS.
