Cable news pushing right wing talking points. [View all]

I usually don't watch the early cable news shows other than Nicolle Wallace. I noticed they were pushing right wing talking points, giving Republican talking points as much weight as Democratic. Cable news gave credence to the narrative that the impeachment hearing is unfair and a sham. I'm not talking about Fox, I'm talking about CNN and MSNBC.

They emphasized a new poll that was just released polling people in several swing states. The new poll showed a majority of people opposed impeachment and that poll was discussed numerous times on numerous shows. I have a thing for polls, I don't subscribe to them. I believe that polls are used for propaganda.

Dems had better keep on the ball controlling the narrative, public opinion will be needed to convict Trump.

MSNBC and CNN are not liberal networks from what I witnessed today.
