There are still a lot of questions surrounding the Buzzfeed report about Trump, Michael Cohen and Trump Tower, but that’s not stopping some in the media from excitedly painting a “worst-case scenario” for Trump (and a “best-case scenario” for the Resistance). One such example is from CBS News’ Paula Reid:
"If this Buzzfeed News report is true… then we are likely on our way to possible impeachment proceedings because this is black and white, a very easily provable or chargeable crime," @paulareidcbs said on President Trump reportedly directing Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. pic.twitter.com/zpGvhy9Hg8

And “if” there were a more objective mainstream media we wouldn’t roll our eyes so hard.
This quote reminds me of my favorite Harbaughism: “not into the if this, if that scenario. If worms had machine guns birds would be scared of them.” https://t.co/GuYHjocWAO

This is how the media work. Amplify stuff that might hurt the right… even though it's yet to be substantiated. #journalism https://t.co/jVPQlgNDwh
