It is hard to escape the impression that the more Congress holds people in contempt, the more people have contempt for Congress.

Maybe if people would comply with subpoenas this wouldn’t be an issue. As a rhetorical construction this headline doesn’t hold up. “The more people get speeding tickets, the more speed tickets people”

It's hard to escape the impression that you lack the moral courage to headline the difference between Democrats using it when people obstruct actual criminal investigations and Republicans using it as revenge when their investigations are exposed as nonsense.

So just a murky both sidesy kinda thing I guess? And not something that, as practiced by one side, is part of a larger insurrectional effort to install a christofascist regime. Thanks for clearing that up for your listeners.

Your lead is misleading, which Republicans count on because you never point out how Republicans abuse their powers and authority for political ends. They want voters to blame "both sides" and they can count on you to weaponize it for them.

Particularly when you never make a distinction between one party acting in good faith, and the cult of performative liars who continue to abuse and weaponize their congressional powers, because they can count on NPR and the rest of MM to never, ever call out their BS.
