To be fair tho, the impeachment of Trump is one of those things where even if he is impeached there is no way the republican senate will vote to remove him.
That does not take away from the fact that doing the right thing is still good - so impeachment is good. But we shouldnt focus all our energy on it since in the end it is already decided that if he gets impeached he wont be removed.
Take Andrew Yang as an example, he thinks its good that congress is moving along with impeachment. It would be irresponsible for them not to. But the media and the democratic party as a whole needs to focus on the election and showing the american people how they will fix the day-to-day problems that a majority of americans live with.
Its a lot more important to fix something like healthcare, housing or wealth inequality than to impeach Trump. At least to the average american. Especially for the bottom 60%.
And from my point of view its not not some random people on the internet that is to blame for trust in media being at an all time low. Its that the news media is getting deeper and deeper into "clicks/views = money" so they get more sensationalist and less factual. More nuance and less straight to the point. Its better for them to write an article that upsets someone than it is to write an article that everyone is neutral towards.

I'm not insinuating that you're an inauthentic account, but you've kind of swallowed the message whole. You hit all of the key issues, especially with the random segue into dismissing the entire institution of journalism at the end for no reason, in an entirely unrelated discussion.
