Mark Levin unleashed a blistering attack on the hypocrisy of the mainstream media, Sunday, using two Media Research Center montages to expose: “The Democrats are the reporters and the reporters are the Democrats.” On his Fox News program Life, Liberty & Levin, showed the double standard of politicians (and journalists): “‘No, no, no. You can't talk about Biden. You can't investigate the Bidens before an election, then you're interfering in an election.’ But you can investigate Trump all you want.”
The conservative radio star explained, “Yes, that's just who these people are and no more pretense of journalistic independence. The Democrats are the reporters and the reporters are the Democrats. Let me prove it to you.” He then watched along with viewers a MRC montage of reporters echoing exactly Democratic talking points:
[For more on that montage, go here.] Next, Levin showcased an MRC montage on how liberals in the media have adopted the exact opposite position of where they stood during Bill Clinton’s impeachment: “But the very same media when it came to the Clinton impeachment process had a completely different attitude. Let's check it out.”

Regarding the efforts by the left, Levin summarized:
This is a complete setup by the Democrats. They've hijacked the impeachment process and turned it on its head. They're trying to hijack the trial process in the United States Senate. They're undermining our constitutional system. They've tried to disenfranchise 63 million people with a variety of claims from Russia and the rest of 2016 and they're trying to affect the 2020 election. If they don't win, they've already told us that it's a corrupt election. These are very, very devious people.
The talk radio star concluded, “One other thing, Bill Clinton was accused of 11 felonies. Trump is accused of none.”

Life, Liberty & Levin

MARK LEVIN: o you see the Democrats have rewritten the Constitution: Treason bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. Now, it's whenever we say it is. Abuse of power. Abuse of power? When the President of the United States is upholding his responsibility to determine if foreign aid is properly spent? When he wants to determine if there's corruption going on in Ukraine towards the United States and in the United States towards Ukraine? “No, no, no. You can't talk about Biden. You can't investigate the Bidens before an election, then you're interfering in an election.” But you can investigate Trump all you want. You can have a phony impeachment. You can have a phony trial and interfere with the election.
In fact, you've even stated you want to interfere with the 2020 election. We have to stop Trump now. He is a national security threat, until we slow the process down. We have to stop Trump now and if he wins reelection, it's a sham. Here they are the whole time interfering in the 2016 and 2020 election, and they're afraid that if you look into the Bidens, as we'll see later in the show, then you're interfering in the election you see. Yes, that's just who these people are and no more pretense of journalistic independence. The Democrats are the reporters and the reporters are the Democrats. Let me prove it to you. Go.

LEVIN: But the very same media when it came to the Clinton impeachment process had a completely different attitude. Let's check it out. Go.[MRC video montage.]
...
LEVIN: All right, ladies and gentlemen, and one other thing, Bill Clinton was accused of 11 felonies. Trump is accused of none. Finally, the Democrats in 1998, again, let's see what they said. Go.[C-SPAN montage.]
PELOSI: I rise to want to oppose these unfair motions, which call for the removal of the President of the United States from office. The Independent Counsel knew that the President was exonerated.
REP. JERROLD NADLER (D-NY): The effective impeachment is overturn the popular will of the voters. There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties, and opposed by the other.
BIDEN: Not all crimes are impeachable offenses, and not every impeachable offense needs to be a crime to throw a President out of office. The Senate, for example, could decline to convict even if the President had committed --
LEVIN: And he slurred his speech back then, I noticed. So you see what this is. This is a complete setup by the Democrats. They've hijacked the impeachment process and turned it on its head. They're trying to hijack the trial process in the United States Senate. They're undermining our constitutional system. They've tried to disenfranchise 63 million people with a variety of claims from Russia and the rest of 2016 and they're trying to affect the 2020 election.
If they don't win, they've already told us that it's a corrupt election. These are very, very devious people. We will be right back.
