Are media corrections forthcoming?
The Horowitz report makes clear that multiple news cycles over the past few years were dominated by reports that were either incorrect or lacking factual foundation.
These included assertions by multiple outlets that the Steele dossier was not central to the FBI’s efforts to secure a warrant on Page; that the FBI found Christopher Steele and his dossier “credible”; that tales of FISA abuse were a conspiracy theory (one of many claims Mother Jones called “bullshit”); that the memo written by Devin Nunes on the subject was wrong and had been “debunked”; that Russians “blocked” Trump from nominating Mitt Romney as secretary of state; that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was in Prague (presumably to meet Russian hackers); that a “pee tape” existed; that Russia’s Alfa Bank and the Trump campaign were communicating via a secret server; that the FISA warrant on Page must have been producing good intelligence in order to be renewed three times; and many other things.
The Washington Post is one of the few outlets to start the process of reassessing its coverage, noting in a fact check that a “fair amount” of the Nunes memo had been “vindicated” by Horowitz. Ari Melber of MSNBC also called out James Comey for being “over his skis” on the “pee tape.” These are first steps, but Horowitz’s findings suggest a much broader thematic media FUBAR that’s still being ignored."...

I wouldn’t expect the Demedia or any of the people on this board who swallow their bullshit to ever admit they were wrong. Orange Man Bad, nothing else need be said.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

You are very impatient. Wait. At some point, the articles will be sent to the Senate, and then the trial will happen.
BTW - I am glad you agree that the articles list Trumps' misdemeanors.
Pelosi's botched impeachment is getting even more bizarre. Now the Democrats threatening to impeach President Trump for other crimes. LOL. "Trump will be the first President impeached twice or more!" It is like Dean Wormer, "Double impeachment".
But really this case won't go to the Senate either, or if it does, it will just get voted down in a partisan fashion. And Pelosi will look weak. She let the radicals talk her into a partisan impeachment show based on a phone call that Nancy had to know wouldn't get anywhere and the big result? President Trump's popularity is rising.

"A federal judge in Washington, D.C. dismissed a lawsuit Monday that sought to determine whether a witness had to obey a subpoena from the impeachment inquiry after Democrats withdrew the subpoena and impeached Trump anyway.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon decided Monday that the suit filed by Charles Kupperman, a former aide to former National Security Advisor John Bolton, was moot because the subpoena had already been withdrawn. The House Intelligence Committee had sought to compel Kupperman’s testimony as part of its inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, alleging he withheld U.S. aid in return for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden, who at the time was leading polls to win the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination."
So much for point number 2, Obstruction of Congress.

The system working as it was designed, excellent.

In the face of warnings from the Pentagon that the hold on military aid to Ukraine could be illegal, an official from the Office of Management and Budget made it clear that the order to keep the freeze in place came directly from President Donald Trump, according to unredacted documents reviewed by Just Security.
Is this the smoking gun? This illustrates the need for a thorough and complete trial in the Senate, where any and all witnesses associated with the situation should testify.
