This is why we need the Impeachment Hearings televised in prime time!

[kpete]

Conservative “News” is ridiculous. This Michigan woman had NO IDEA there was anything at all negative in the Mueller Report and sincerely believed it fully exonerated trump until her republican Congressman said otherwise.

1. did she even read the report????

how many Fox viewers have even read it?

[Cetacea]

2. How many people in Congress have read it?

I can tell you: not many

[StarfishSaver]

4. How many people on DU have read it?

[Cetacea]

9. I certainly haven't !

To answer your question, I really don't know.

[StarfishSaver]

14. I doubt that most people here - including those talking about it the most - have read it

[Cetacea]

16. I'd rather "see the movie"

It would be redundant for me to read the entire report, even if I could.

[StarfishSaver]

17. I think it's likely that many DUers read more words in a week in these threads

than are in the entire Mueller Report.

It's all about priorities and what people find important to invest time to read.

15. I'm reading it.

Not very far into it, since I wanted to finish Andrew McCabe's book first.

5. not to be snarky

what makes you say Congress has not read it. 400 pages of it.

[Cetacea]

11. It's ok

By Congress I meant the House and Senate. I'm partially basing that on Justin Amash's comment to constituents
that his colleagues haven't bothered .

3. Why do you think a clueless person like this would watch Mueller testify?

I'm not saying he shouldn't testify, just wondering why people think that anyone this ignorant and ill-informed would watch it. She doesn't seem to have watched anything else that would inform her of any facts. I'm not sure she would suddenly sit down to watch Mueller - who she's convinced is the leader of a witch-hunt perpetuating a hoax - and, even if she were to watch it, why anything he says would make any difference to her.

6. I think she would watch any impeachment hearings. She does trust her Rep and has admitted

she now has new knowledge from him.

[StarfishSaver]

7. You may be right

I just don't have as much faith in her attention span and reasoning skills as you do ...

[stillcool]

8. or throw the tv out..

the effing window, and read a little. I doubt many people would even tune in to C-Span, but rather have events explained to them by their trusty commentator.

10. Faith based politics has taken over the Republican Party.

[bdamomma]

12. Representative Schiff

kind of said something last night on Lawrence O'Donnell that the Mueller report won't be read by Americans unless it was turned into a movie. Kind of sad but true.

We need to change their perception some of us do care and read.

13. And without commenators

There is a threat of impeachment hearings devolving to just another sensational controversy.
Prime time but NOT fox, msnbc, cnn, or any for profit outlet that trades in infotainment. We're probably too far gone to figure out how to agree to standards in any news reporting but the current conflict driven commentary is dysfunctional. And I am skeptical of how impeachment by covered in prime time would suddenly result in some self imposed standards that even resemble the kind of non biased coverage that a process as serious as impeachment demands.
