NPR’s over-coverage of the potential presidential impeachment has now taken the same road as their overload of the Robert Mueller hearings. It has turned into hours of daily gossip, opinion and wishful speculation on practically every NPR program throughout the day, as though continually talking about it will bring about the desired outcome or somehow “enlighten” a Republican’s brain.

My radio dial is back to soothing classical music from that station down the road in Provo until the dust has cleared.
