those five networks. the federalist columnist and author of privileged victims eddy scary joins me now. eddie, thank you very much for being here. i m old enough to remember another phone call that existed which led to wall-to-wall coverage and an impeachment yet, this phone call and then the collapse of the afghan military and government? no coverage? right, just as you said it was supposed to be an impeachable offense to make any call to a foreign government that was in the interest, the political interest of the sitting president and in fact was worthy of removal from office, we re hearing nothing about this one and, yet, another very drastic and stark difference between the two. is that what was the result of what joe biden has been doing in afghanistan? we just lost 13 service members. this was life and death. and you compare that to what president trump did?
wall-to-wall coverage. madeleine rivera in new orleans. madeleine. reporter: guys, we re seeing rain consistently throughout the morning. we don t have wind gusts just yet but make no mistake we ll have it this morning. steve said maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. here in new orleans we could see 15 inches of rain. that could lead to flooding on the streets and tributaries. this is usually a pretty busy street but almost completely empty. stores along the streets boarded up. seems people heeded warnings from the governor, city s mayor said. everyone here were told to evacuate in low-lying areas but for people outside of the levees, they had to evacuate. that was a mandatory evacuation. it is going to be something a fluid situation people will be
do you believe their testimony at all? i mean, you ve heard what they said in the past, haven t you? it is difficult to have an opinion on whether you believe somebody when you haven t heard what they had to say. many said that they feared for their lives. do you think that that was true? if they said that, i agree 100%. well, the committee hearing merited wall to wall coverage here on cnn as well as other networks. but for some right wing channels, the coverage was very different. brian stelter reports. reporter: for a few short hours on tuesday, fox and newsmax viewers did hear the violent truth. i heard people in the crowd yelling get his gun, kill him with his own gun. reporter: but then right wing media reverted to form. i refuse to lead my show with it. reporter: dismissing the hearing. it is all theater. reporter: and dsz conttcontr

it s going to be wall-to-wall coverage. that will dominate the entire political conversation and you will not have a single person to push back. what about when mark meadows is called to testify? other figures that might not have that white house privilege. this is going to be the political moment for the next several weeks and months and republicans aren t going to have a say there. i think that will be something we will have to look back and see how does mccarthy figure out how to push back on it when they aren t participating in the process. with that in mind, david, can the democrats go too far here? can they push too hard in terms of subpoenas and demanning testimony from elected officials? could they lose the american people on this? i think they should be as aggressive as they can on process, hear from everybody they think they need to hear from.
