impeachment is the only story that matters. sounds more like a political campaign than a news judgment. impeachment is a big story. if the president of the. united states is going to get impeached and possibly bounced out of office, it s a majorgm story. i think it s defensible on the part of jeff zucker but i think the hyperfocus on it by most media at the expense of all els is not new. since the day trump got into office, they have been hyperfocused on impeachment. this is one of the problems the democrats andus also to some extent the media is up against. that from the day he took office, it was the 25th amendment, the emoluments clause,ay russia, russia, russi, obstruction of justice. all those things. he has to be impeached. if everything is an 11, nothing is an 11. they have may be stumbled on an 11. they have the transcript. trump said it was a perfect call. you can make an argument. ca one is paying as much
