[See NewsBusters for more.] As Thursday turned into Friday and impeachment acquittal seemed more likely, the late night coverage on MSNBC devolved into hyperbolic claims of the end of “truth” and that Republican Senators are about to let go the equivalent of a wife beater. Host Ali Velshi turned to the liberal media’s voice of reason, Michael Moore. Moore slimed Republican Senator Lamar Alexander for announcing he would vote no on witnesses. Apparently, this is like letting an abusive husband go: “It's actually maybe worse what Lamar Alexander is doing because he's saying essentially — let's just say this was a court case — ‘Yep, he beat his wife. So? You know? There's no question he beat his wife. So? Time to move on.’ That's not how we roll in this country! That's not how we decide justice!”
