More How Cable News Covers The Impeachment Trial. Headlines as follows:
8:12 p.m.
• CNN: SONDLAND TIES PRES. TRUMP, VP PENCE, SECY. OF STATE POMPEO. AND WH CHIEF OF STAFF MULVANEY TO PRESSURE CAMPAIGN / SONDLAND: “EVERYONE WAS IN THE LOOP” ON UKRAINE PRESSURE
• Fox News: “NO QUID PRO QUO”
Half an hour later, while CNN was still covering Sondland’s testimony, Fox News was discussing the Clinton Foundation.
At 10:54 p.m., here’s what the two networks were showing viewers.
• CNN: SONDLAND: ‘YES’ THERE WAS QUID PRO QUO. IN UKRAINE SCANDAL
• Fox News: SWALWELL CAUSES A STINK
That latter text referred to a viral video clip that appeared to have captured the sound of flatulence while Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) was appearing on MSNBC the previous day.
On Thursday, similar divides were on display. At 9:53 p.m., here’s what each network showed — perhaps the most representative comparison of any.
• CNN: NO REPUBLICANS BUDGE AFTER ALL THE FACTS, EVIDENCE REVEALED IN 3O+ HOURS OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY / MEMBERS OF PRESIDENT’S PARTY CROSSED AISLE IN NIXON & CLINTON IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS, BUT NOT NOW
• Fox News: FBI OFFICIAL UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGEDLY ALTERING DOC RELATED TO PAGE SURVEILLANCE, CNN REPORTS
• MSNBC: NIXON PLEDGED TO FIGHT TO KEEP HIS PRESIDENCY / IMPEACHMENT HEARING WITNESSES WRAP UP WEEK OF EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONY
There’s a reason that Trump’s current press secretary has only given interviews to Fox News and not other broadcast or major cable networks. Why would Trump need a White House communications director when he has a generously friendly cable network that’s already popular with the people he wants to talk to anyway?)
