Me? I'm sitting here wondering if there was an effort to focus on the side shows instead of the facts. I speak of the impeachment trial. I think of how there are those who conspire to affect American opinion. I think of all the coverage, and of how it seemed to have but skimmed the surface as far as what evidence there was. Instead, stories on how Nancy Pelosi used different colored pens to sign the articles of impeachment, and on how she ripped up her copy of the SOTU speech.
Those type of stories have nothing to do with whether President Trump was guilty. If you can get the people discussing these type of stories, you can steer them away from learning the facts of the case. Not only do you keep them focused on something else, other than the facts, but you work them up to anger and hatred against those who were prosecuting the case.
Would that the coverage would have zeroed in on the evidence, so we could have discussed it. I think of all those who insist there was no evidence. Well, if the news doesn't mention it much, it leaves the impression there is none.
We have been told their are those trying to influence our opinions from afar. We have been warned. I do not think it wrong to consider these warnings. I would guess they probably are masters at influencing our media. We should imagine if such an effort does exist -- and it does so seem this effort is real -- it will, indeed, try to steer the media away from stories it doesn't want covered and onto stories that help its cause.
These masters of deceit have scored their victory. They have kept the public from knowing the facts of the case. And, if we bring them up now, after the impeachment process is over, they will suggest it is time to move on, time to put this behind us, time to heal as a nation and support the president.
