24. Not talking about UPINARMS local paper,

but the M$M is corporate controlled right wing. Democrats face an uphill battle because of the right controlling the narrative. Not releasing his taxes should have been a major issue. The fact that he was an admitted sexual pervert, assaulter, accused rapist, should have been a major issue.

We have a lot of good journalists in the M$M, but most of the time they can only report on what the narrative is.
I have said this before, Fox News says Obama beats his wife, CNN says they need more information, MSNBC says no he doesn't. It doesn't matter what CNN and MSNBC say because they are talking about Obama beating his wife.

The narrative, one of them, going on now is that we can't talk about impeachment, it will be bad for Democrats and Republicans. I defer to Auntie Maxine, impeach the sob.
