Why are DEMS allowing the media to force our hand on Mueller?

We ALL read the report. We all saw the hearings. We all heard Mueller say that he would have suggested indictment if not for his interpretation of the law.

Why are we allowing the media to say that the responsibility is on the DEMS for impeachment and action? In hearing the testimony, "This is a bad day for DEMS," is misleading and unfair to DEMS.

Why are we asking, "What are the Republicans going to do?" I've seen Pelosi grilled and lambasted which allows the republicans to have no responsibility at all. It's obviously a problem with how the media is framing it, but I hate how regular DEMS seem to be buy into the narrative.

They are on a quest for absolute power because they believe it is their godly duty. And they will join with dark forces they don't care who they stomp on just to get it.

Shift, Pelosi, Cummings, Nadler, etc. came out very strongly pointing out trump lied, there was foreign interference, etc., but the media put out a different narrative.

It's the false equivalency nonesense. Giving two sides to an issue is one thing, but when one of those sides is a lie, and the media doesn't call that lie out, or ignore it completely, in spite of Democrats pointing it out, they are not doing journalism anymore
