    SPINELESS MSM

    Since the day a real reporter stood up to ask the then President about his female traveling companion and was fired , investigative reporting by the MSM ended . An example is as each Democrate takes over a leadership position the MSM begins the questions about "impeachment" . The MSM knew crimes were committed during the reign of terror under the GOP leadership but under reported it or didn't report it . But now as the DEM's take over the questions begin . The MSM knowing what , and when crimes were committed and by who should have been detailing the crimes to the public as is their job . Instead they want the DEM leadership to start the fight so they can stand on the side and watch the fight or accuse the DEMs of not fighting .
