GOING YARD

Where I am.

"I think this whole Ukraine thing is playing out like the Russia hoax. But what if it's real? I don't think for one second that it *is* real, but let's say it is. Let's say that Trump did-- well, whatever it is that he's supposed to have done, called up the Ukraine and had one of his oligarch buds send a bunch of prank pizzas to Joe Biden's house late at night, or whatever. That's impeachable, isn't it? So what if he did? The question is, how would we know? They're all liars. The Democrats lied their asses off for nearly three years about a Russian conspiracy that didn't exist, and their media allies lied their asses off for nearly three years about a Russian conspiracy that didn't exist, so how do we know they're not lying now?

"When it comes to our national media, we're living in a boy-who-cried-wolf world now. CNN could show live footage of Donald Trump receiving sacks of cash from Vladimir Putin in the Oval Office, and my first thought would be, eh, it's CNN, so it's obviously fake. This is the network that pushed the Russian collusion hoax for nearly years and came up with a big plate of nothing with a side order of bupkis. Like when Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone's vault. And when it became obvious that their reporting was crap, instead or apologizing to their viewers for their crap reporting, they congratulated each other for a job well done. So why should I believe *anything* they say? The media simply doesn't realize how badly they've damaged their credibility. And the damage is probably permanent.

"You know, perhaps that's a good thing. Because I'd like to see a media that actually does their job rather than act as cheerleaders for people who hate me."

Yup. I don't believe anything they say. I require independent corroboration, which they certainly don't have this time.
