CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter asked his Twitter followers how he and other journalists had done in providing objective impeachment coverage.
“I said at the beginning of the impeachment inquiry that journalists shouldn’t advocate for an outcome, but should advocate for a well-informed public,” Stelter said Wednesday on Twitter. “So… how well have we done on that count?”

The comment was met with a series of mocking tweets from people who said the statement sounded like “parody.” Stelter has been a harsh critic of the president, saying President Trump makes journalists “less safe.”
Is this a parody account? ?

Trump would be the third president to be impeached by the House. House Democrats in districts Trump won in 2016 have largely signaled they will vote for impeachment.
