Joe Walsh, a Republican running for the presidential election in 2020 is saying that Fox News and conservative talk radio are lying and manipulating Americans every day. He is encouraging other Republicans to do the same, saying, "this is an absolute shame and I think you've got a call it out for what it is". He believes that President Trump deserves to be impeached and he is worried that not all Americans are getting the same information about the president's alleged actions. Walsh has publicly criticized Trump before and now is reaching out to the media outlets that are aligned with him. He says that just listening to one side of the story is dangerous. Welsh said when he worked as one of the conservative radio hosts he got pressure to speak highly of Trump. This article provided a pole from The Wall Street Journal and NBC that found that a little over fifty percent of Americans approve of the impeachment inquiry while a little over forty disapprove. And close to the same numbers agree that he should be removed from office.

1. Which side do you stand within the polls, do you approve or disapprove with the inquiry?
I approve of the inquiry I think that he should be investigated and possibly impeached. I think that he most likely did something illegal and I will be more than happy to see him go. If they stop the process or find that he did nothing wrong then no harm done.
2. How do you think that News outlets like Fox or CNN could improve how they present information to the public?
I think that it would be better if our News stations were bipartisan. I think that the only show one side of issues when we should be presented with both, equally to develop our own opinions. Plus if they showed both sides then people like my grandma would only have to watch one to get information from both sides.

Good job Peyton.
I think that Trump deserves to be impeached. However, I'm not sure if Trump's impeachment is for the best. If Trump is impeached, that means Mike Pence would become president. News outlets could present both sides of the story, and if they want to, then give their opinion.
I agree Trump should be impeached, and while Pence would take over it is a short amount of time and I think that he is a worse evil. I wished that the News never presented their opinions because I want facts not what others think about the facts.
I am a Republican, but I am starting to dissaprove of what Trump is saying, I stand by Republican views, but one can do so without acting like a jut monkey. I think all news sources are either biased to the right or left. There's no inbetween anymore and I think that should change within the next election.
I agree that most of the time he is a "jut monkey", I think that more people who like him if he wasn't such a child about everything he puts on social media. I really hope that the news sources do change their ways, even if it is just a little, like the ying-yang symbol, with a small amount of one in the other.
