Awful CNN headline: Trump's self-impeachment may be Pelosi's worst fear

[bearsfootball516]

I'm not going to post the story because I don't want to give it clicks, but it's bizarre. Dems seem like they're making serious headway toward impeachment, and CNN's big, front page article online is a story focused on how negative impeachment would be.

[gratuitous]

1. But is it good news for John McCain?

I hope CNN is well-stocked with stamps so they can continue to mail in such lazy analysis.

2. Trump eats baby on 5th Avenue...

Democrats worst nightmare.

Hearing this all afternoon yesterday. The *resident is a criminal, this will be bad for the Democrats.

[blm]

3. Standard Operating Procedure for lazyminded media.

4. I've been listening to CNN off and on for hours and the

they have been very gung ho and excited to finally getting to impeachment. They were practically having a party a few hours ago.

7. of course they are. It is a big story.

9. Until they get bored with it

Then they'll find something else to beat the Democrats up over

[SlogginThroughIt]

10. Yep then they work it back the other way

This type of reporting is dangerous and boring.

5. I clicked. Actually, I think it is a pretty good summary of where we are, although headline sux.

". . . . . . But it is also threatening to obliterate the House speaker's fragile political perch atop her caucus, a majority of which rejects her reluctance to open impeachment proceedings.

"Pelosi, trading on her reputation as the master of her troops, has argued that the best way to deal with Trump is to oust him at the next election. She fears that a backlash from impeachment could electrify Trump's base and doom Democrats who helped her win back the House last fall. And since Republicans will almost certainly never help to produce the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump in a Senate trial, the argument is that Democrats are walking into an impeachment trap.

"The speaker has been trying to build a case to 2020 voters that Trump is guilty of obstruction and is unfit for office -- but has always stopped short of pulling the impeachment trigger.

""The President is almost self-impeaching because he is every day demonstrating more obstruction and disrespect for Congress' legitimate role to subpoena," Pelosi said in May. But the latest twists over Ukraine suggest that the politics of impeachment may be changing inside the House Democratic caucus and that the President's accusations that Biden is guilty of corruption -- for which there is no evidence -- may be consuming her maneuvering room. . . . . . ."

Article goes on to say the dam could be breaking.

6. Sounds like another headline designed to get clicks, not convey accurate information.

[StarfishSaver]

8. We knew that would happen

Media: IMPEACH! IMPEACH!

Democrats: {Impeachment}

Media: Did the Democrats overplay their hands?

[SlogginThroughIt]

12. Exactly!

[Chakaconcarne]

11. Well, we certainly don't want to fire up Trump's base....

That could be catastrophic for Democrats chances for the white house. *Sarcasm*

13. "Self-impeachment" is a quote from Pelosi.

It makes no sense to me.

Dems can make a case for impeachment and hold the GOP senators feet to the fire over it.

[GeorgeGist]

14. Corporate media is desperate to save the Republican party ...

from it's well-deserved death.

15. IMO it is important to identify the name of the person hosting the segment

so they are tied into the negative message.
