    I guess this is yet another case of a leftist accusing others of the behavior that his side is engaging in.
    Well, I don't know about CNN, but perhaps you should switch to msnbc who aired the entire trial without interuption. That way you could think for yourself if you still have that capacity.

      I keep my eye on the propagandist to see what they're up to. I repeatedly swithched over to FOX to see what they were doing and they weren't actually airing the trial, they had a silent picture of the trial going on while they told their audience what boring nonsense it was.

        I just turned the tv on. Fox News was broadcasting Chuckles Schumer's press conference statement to the Majority. CNN was Wolf Blitzer commentary on the trial, and MSNBC had Chris Matthews was commenting on Schiff's closing.

        • Fox has a ticker up saying live broadcast of the trial will resume at 1PM EST.

            I'll bet.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Just to let you know that Fox wasn't doing anything the others weren't doing. None of the networks broadcast the entire thing. All took breaks to editorialize.

                  C-Span. It's where I've been watching, when I watch.

                    Wrong once again. I watched the entire trial on msnbc and they didn't break for anything, including commercials.

                      Which is the truth?

                          Which is why I seriously doubt your veracity on this.

                            Yesterday, George Staphylococcus was caught on camera signalling to cut away from Jay Sekulow mid interview so he could "analyze" what Trump's defense lawyers were saying.

                              uh no it doesn't. "Abuse of Power" is not even a crime. If there was an actual crime they would have made a separate article for it.

                              Soliciting a foriegn country to interfere in U.S. elections is also an abuse of power, though not a crime, and withholding appropriated funds to that end without notifying Congress and giving a reason for the hold is another Abuse of power as well as a crime, a violation of the Impoundment act. All of that is detailed in the articles and is being explained in detail at the trial. And yes, the evidence is overwhelming, should you not be watching.
                              All of that is an accusation and an inference of his motives. There is no evidence it is true. And you just admitted it wasn't a crime.

                              • If you want to watch the trial without spin, watch CSPAN - I believe they have no commentary just the video.
