Pat Buchanan blasts the media as “militant partisans masquerading as journalists.” Pat says any impeachment attempt will be seen for what it is, an attempted coup by “the losers of 2016 who are fearful they could lose again in 2020 and be out of power for four more years.” He writes (abridged):
“History is repeating itself, and with a vengeance,” John Dean told the judiciary committee, drawing a parallel between Watergate, which brought down Richard Nixon, and “Russiagate” which has bedeviled Donald Trump.
Leftists may still dominate mainstream media. But their unconcealed hatred of Trump and the one-sided character of their coverage has cost them much of the credibility they had half a century ago.
