We have to ask: when did hearsay become evidence?
letter to the editor
To the Editor:
Watching the Trump impeachment hearing procedures is somewhat confusing because no actual evidence has been presented as of yet. Partly because the evidence the witnesses are testifying to is mostly hearsay, innuendos and assumptions. And, it also has a feel as if the Democratic House interrogators are trying to amend their witnesses’ answers by adding their own interpretation on what the witnesses’ testimony meant while questioning them. The Democrats seem desperate to make unsubstantial evidence into something incriminating.
The TV networks and other news media report their own bias spin on all the happenings and it leaves the American public uncertain as to what the truth really is. Also, there are TV network news talk show commentators who, in the course of their conversations, throw out innuendos about Trump and fabricate a scenario making it sound as if it actually could/has happened. CNN and MSNBC are notorious for this and soon it presumably becomes fact. It is absolutely appalling. This has to stop!
The question we must all ask ourselves: “When did hearsay become evidence?”
