Here's @RepJohnYarmuth on risk/reward of killing #Soleimani, slow walking #impeachment, mental state of @realDonaldTrump, and @CNN settlement with @CovCathColonels student Nick Sandmann 🎙️ AUDIO https://t.co/SW75ydyLVS @840WHAS #media #malpractice #Iran #Election2020 pic.twitter.com/UVynsge18U— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) January 8, 2020 Rep. John Yarmuth (KY-3) held nothing back in responding to President Donald Trump's decision to kill Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani. Yarmuth is quick to acknowledge that Soleimani was a terrorist but questions the risk because of heightened danger to U.S. military troops around the world. HE WAS A TERRORIST 🚨 https://t.co/L84eD7kMYZ— nicole andrea (@gocatsmeow) January 7, 2020 Rep. Yarmuth and I also talked about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's slow progress on moving impeachment forward. The congressman said there is abundant new

Media is really individual people and people are not objective
There is no shortage of public discourse about biased media. I've spent 40+ years in media with hundreds of colleagues in radio, TV, and print. Media is absolutely staffed with at least 85% liberal leaning people. That's not a slam, just a fact. When liberals are asked about this imbalance, they immediately reply "FOX NEWS!" OK, yes. Fox News, Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, and a host of smaller conservative outlets still only make up that one piece of pumpkin pie seen above. The rest of the pie represents the liberal influence in the delivery of news products. Journalism instructors are supposed to teach critical thinking and discipline for objectivity but human behavior ultimately prevails in everything we do. Former CBS
Why are youthful identities masked by media reporting capital crimes?
Five teenagers between ages 12 and 16 allegedly robbed Nashville singer Kyle Yorlets as he stood in his back yard. They demanded his car keys. Yorlets refused. One of the teens then shot Yorlets and all of the assailants fled in a stolen vehicle. The singer dragged himself back into his home and died a short time later. The 12-year-old criminal detailed for police the details of their crime spree including the murder and various car thefts, one from Oak Grove, Kentucky. The Nashville newspaper refused to identify the teens because of their "young age(s)." Is this responsible journalism? Shouldn't the public be informed of the identities of murderous citizens? What if any of these criminals somehow makes bond and is released?
Rep. John Yarmuth digs in, doesn’t believe CovCath student Nick Sandmann
Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) joined me on 840WHAS to discuss his tweets damning the students of Covington Catholic high school as "appalling" and displaying "racist hatred" at a January field trip to DC. Yarmuth declined to apologize for tweeting before learning the wider story of a group of adult Herbrew Israelites hurling abusive, homophobic language at the students, and how additional video showed that the Native American group approached the students. Initial social and traditional media accounts reported that the students "swarmed" the Native Americans to mock and intimidate the elders. Whoooooaaaaa. Slow your roll, rush-to-judgment team. The videos don't lie. Agenda-driven social justice warriors supplying limited views do lie. Student Nick Sandmann appeared on TODAY to tell his story. It was
