Mo Brooks: ‘Media bias’ an obstacle for congressional Republicans attempting to point out need to expose potential FBI, DOJ wrongdoing

Almost every night on either MSNBC or CNN, viewers are exposed to any number of Democratic members of Congress promoting the idea of President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

Although the numbers for impeachment are nowhere near the 218 votes required in the U.S. House of Representatives for impeachment proceedings, those voices far outnumber those in Congress that want to take an opposite approach. That approach is to investigate and determine if some within the Department of Justice and the FBI were possibly able to manufacture a scenario that led to the two-year-long Mueller probe, which initiated the impeachment discussion.

During an appearance on Huntsville radio’s WVNN, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) blamed media bias and argued you would hear more from him and his like-minded Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives if the media outlets were functioning as “communications wings of the Democratic Party.”

“We’re not heard as much, but to a very large degree that’s because of media bias,” Brooks said. “CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post and many other mainstream media are really nothing more than the communication wings of the Democratic Party. And so, they’re not going to put forth information that denigrates the Democratic Party that these media outlets represent. And as a consequence, you’re not going to be hearing my voice or Bradley Byrne’s voice, or Jim Jordan’s or Mark Meadows or Matt Gaetz, or any number of different individuals because that’s not what they want to broadcast, and that’s not what they want to print at Washington Post, New York Times, et. al.”

“Our word is not getting out because we don’t ask the questions,” he added. “We don’t control the flow of the subject matters. The media controls those.”
