Impeachment overkill

It's pretty scary nowadays knowing that the media controls what we read, hear, and download. It almost feels like we're being programmed. It also doesn't take a Ph.D. to see that the media is biased.

The Herald seems to think, however, that people's lives revolve around the current impeachment hearings. On Saturday, Nov. 16, they published six different articles pertaining to them. That's overkill.

The silliest of them all referenced Raja Krishnamoorth, with him remarking that being part of history is all-consuming and that he has many hearings coming up to prepare for. So, he took the weekend off ... Go figure. With his type of (self) importance, we need to name something after him. Any suggestions?

People, wake up. For years committee hearings in both chambers have been scripted and staged - like a dog and pony show. Questions are supplied to the members and they are expected to follow the script to the letter. Going off the rails could only lead to embarrassment.

The committee members could qualify for Oscars by their facial expressions, tone of voice, and the use of words such as "alarming," "troubling," "shocking," etc. You get the drift.
