Tuckered Out By What Is Passing As ”NEWS”

---

Is “NEWS” only the “NEWS ” when it can be used to Impeach Donald Trump? According to Megaphone Strategies, the PR company behind She the People: “For the Record: Women of Color Led Call to Impeach Trump.” Just to think that We the People thought it was Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer with the help of screecher Maxine Waters when all the while it was the screech louder members over at the so-called ‘Squad’:

She the People: For the Record: Women of Color Led Call to Impeach Trump

  SAN FRANCISCO – Today, in response to the developing news story that House Democrats are on the verge of launching formal impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, Aimee Allison, Founder of She the People, released the following statement: “Today’s news has shown what we have long known: that women of color have the political and moral courage this country needs. From her first days in Congress, #Squad member Rep. Rashida Tlaib has been one of the first elected officials to raise her voice and unapologetically advocate for Trump’s impeachment.

"Rep. Tlaib is not alone in Congress. Her colleagues Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters and Pramila Jaypal have repeatedly joined Rep. Tlaib in their relentless pursuit for accountability, pushing Congressional Leadership to exercise their duties under our constitutional system of checks and balances. "They came under scrutiny for this from the elite political establishment, but now, House Democrats and Speaker Pelosi are finally following their lead. Women of color were crucial to Democrats’ 2018 victories, and we’ll have the last word when Trump is out of office once and for all.” # # #  She the People is a national network connecting women of color to transform our democracy. We are elevating and amplifying the voice and power of women of color as leaders, political strategists, organizers, and voters. She the People is building an inclusive, multiracial coalition driving a new progressive political and cultural era.”

“We’ll have the last word when Trump is out of office once and for all”? Talk about counting chickens before they hatch! And does anyone know when We the People got morphed into She the People?! The latest from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has her arguing that “Congress should pursue the impeachment of President Trump despite its unpopularity among voters and "put our country first" before their jobs.”

Not only do voters count, AOC, but everything Congress does is in the spirit of hanging onto their lucrative jobs. "I personally do not believe in fulfilling my obligations to my job based on polling data," Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN. "I think we need to do our job and we've been elected and sent here by the people of the United States of America to fulfill all of our obligations under the Constitution of the United States.” “The freshman congresswoman stressed that the polling on impeachment took place before what she described as a "really shattering allegation" that Trump attempted to leverage foreign aid to Ukraine in order to renew an investigation into former Vice President and 2020 frontrunner Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. She also noted that the new revelations about Trump's contacts with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has "united almost the entire Democratic caucus.” (Fox News, Sept.26, 2019) As a drafted member of ‘She the People’, AOC should know.

"We need to do our job."

Why is Matt Drudge headlining the anti-Trump message in screaming red headlines

There’s plenty put out in the daily “NEWS” to tucker out even the most trusting of truth-seeking souls. Why is Matt Drudge headlining the anti-Trump message in screaming red headlines while pushing Senator Elizabeth Warren as the most likely 2020 presidential winner?

WONDER IF @DRUDGE has nightmares with ghost of Andrew Breitbart haunting him.

RESPECT DWINDLING for @DRUDGE as he links (in red, no less) obvious propagandistic BS from WaPo. https://t.co/5kEQsJ9b7Y

Fox News seems to be losing its “NEWS” gravitas, while many of the rest of us are plain tuckered out

And speaking about being tuckered out by the “NEWS”, what’s up with Fox? In the Cable News Race as reported by Drudge on TUES. SEPT 24, 2019:

1. FOXNEWS HANNITY 3,861,000
2. FOXNEWS TUCKER 3,412,000
3. MSNBC MADDOW 3,323,000
4. FOXNEWS INGRAHAM 3,187,000
5. MSNBC O'DONNELL 2,495,000
6. MSNBC MEET DAILY 2,237,000
7. MSNBC HAYES 2,128,000
8. MSNBC HARDBALL 2,237,000
9. CNN COOPER 1,436,000
10. CNN CUOMO 1,426,000
11. CNN LEMON 1,080,000

It used to be six or seven news shows in the top ten, now it’s just three conservative ones with clowns like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow ahead of every one of the Fox Liberal-leaning hosts like Shep Smith,Neil Cavuto, and Chris Wallace among others. Fox News seems to be losing its “NEWS” gravitas, while many of the rest of us are plain tuckered out. Tuckered out is not the place to be one year out from the 2020 election.
