Evidently Democrats need only utter the words "constitutional crisis" for the media to report it as fact. Watch cable “news” these days, and you’ll surely see talking heads parroting the Democratic line that the Trump administration’s noncompliance with House Committee subpoenas amounts to a constitutional crisis. While a small handful of analysts and guest legal scholars disagree, TV hosts continue to push the idea uncritically, with some even urging the alleged crisis be used as grounds for impeachment. MRC analysts looked at all coverage on broadcast (ABC, CBS, NBC) and liberal cable (CNN, MSNBC) networks from May 8 to 12,

That strategy is in their rulebook. A word or phrase...all over the helpful media.
Think of the overuse of the word "credible" (as in Doctor Baby Voice) during the Kavanaugh fight.
They even get weak Republicans to repeat the business.

Their crisis is one of mental health and has nothing to do with our constitution or country which are doing fine.

How does that saying go....? A lie travels around the world as the truth is still tying its shoes.

They have manufactured a pseudo fake crisis, claim ignorance and outrage and demand justice. Add this to the post election analysis of reasons Trump won in a massive Reagan like landslide.

The way I see it, the constitutional crisis was when the upper management of the FBI, CIA and DOJ decided to spy on the opposition candidate.
They all need to be prosecuted for sedition and attempted coup.

My definition of a "Constitutional Crisis" involves one political party in power using the levers of power (such as the judicial, investigative, and intelligence agencies) to spy (yes, spy) on their opposition.
It ain´t telling Shifty Schiff, Nadler the Hutt, Nasty Nancy, Chuckie Schumer, AOC, brother-marrying Omar and their media whores to take a long walk off a short pier.

Media needs eyes or "clicks" to consider itself successful. So we have seen over the last 3 years that lies and censorship by media to fulfill that requirement are the norm now. Generating FEELINGS is the corporate media´s and social media´s MO as a tool to accomplish their agenda. Being SHEEP at their mercy is a CHOICE ... and those who have been deprived of the skill of critical judgment are ripe for a shearing. Consider the media your enemy.

No crisis, and nothing to do with the Constitution, which they have never read.

This is standard stenographer training. Simply repeat anything you are told and don´t think about it. Its more of a time-management measure. If the media had to analyze and criticize donkeys, when would they find the time to think of the lies, slander, and back-biting they do for Republicans? Simple, isn´t it?

For once, the deceitful "MSM" is right. It is truly a Constitutional Crisis when a major political party becomes a crime syndicate, and when the "MSM" functions solely as said crime syndicate´s criminal cover-up machine.
Doesn´t get more Constitutional Crisis than that.

Yeah well, that’s why some call them the mockingbird media. Some time in the 1950s, newspaper publishers and network news outfits (along with CIA thugs) agreed to say the same things. It was called Operation Mockingbird.
Of course Wikipedia sneeringly pooh-poohs the idea being one of the worst offenders of propaganda media.

We are headed for a Constitutional Crisis if one of those Communists running for the Presidency actually wins. We will be just like Venezuela in a few years.

El Rushbo used to run very l-o-n-g tapes of a particular "phrase" that was repeated ad infinitum by scores of news ´reporters´ and the longer the different people said the magic ´phrase´ the more insane and ridiculous it became.
The first one I can remember was when someone supposedly was branded as lacking ´gravitas´ which is a word hardly ever spoken.
Now, this kind of thing has found its way on to many different platforms and broadcasts, and it PROVES one unescapable TRUTH-- these phrases are being fed to and repeated by MANY others to make it have impact NO MATTER WHERE YOU GET YOUR NEWS in an all-out effort to influence public opinion with non-stop propaganda...
Where do the "magic" words and phrases come from?

The image of a ventriloquist´s media dummy sitting on the dems´ lap comes to mind. It´s been true for a while.
Beyond that, it is absurd when every dem questioned uses the exact same words and phrasing. They sound programmed and frankly, mindless.
