Tucker Carlson: Democrats have lost the Trump impeachment war. Even Adam Schiff knows it | Fox News
No surprises here from the Slightly Less Stable Genius. I did want to share Carlson's opinion for a few reasons though.
His analysis focuses on 2 claims: The media strong-armed the Democrats into the impeachment process. Impeachment has failed and as a result, so have the Democrats.
The corrupt media bias shtick is so tired. For someone like Tucker Carlson to complain about Jeff Zucker's partisanship is as tragically absurd as I've come to expect from him. The media is biased. Everyone knows that. Anyone who consumes information without identifying and evaluating the bias of the authors shouldn't be sharing their opinions about it in the first place. Carlson is doing one thing and not doing another thing. He's perpetuating the media as left wing propaganda accusation that has become a pillar of Trump Speak. He's not addressing the other factors that finally led Democrats to attempt impeachment. Namely, the Democratic base insisted on impeachment and a majority of Americans supported an inquiry.
As far as the Democrats losing (which is unfortunate language anyway since all of our politics has become a winner-loser proposition), I don't believe that anyone who matters ever thought Trump was going to be removed from office. Now, if the House Democrats don't vote to impeach, they will take a hard blow. But the long game all along was to beat Trump at the ballot box. It's still too early to see how independents and moderates are processing the hearings, but I do agree with Yang's quotes in the article. Impeachment was never a priority for the 40%+ of Americans who live in between the Republicans and the Democrats.
