Here it is, going back to last Tuesday:
"Why is there no mention in the news this morning about Rep. Kucinich from Ohio presenting articles of impeachment in the house last night? Isn't it important enough?"
That was the inquiry to NPR's Ombudsman to which she chose to reply. She sent the inquiry to NPR's Washington Desk Editor, Ron Elving.
Elving responded:
"Most days, no bill that is introduced is the subject of a news story. In fact, it's hard for me to recall the last time we did a story about a bill on the day it was introduced (although I'm sure we have). It simply does not mean anything unless the bill is going somewhere for serious proceedings.
"Most bills are introduced so that a member can say that she or he introduced a bill. Period. And this is a perfect example. The Democratic leadership has made it clear it would not spend time on impeachment, and they did so from the beginning of the term when there would have been time. Now there is no calendar space for this at committee level or floor level in the remaining weeks of this Congress, and Kucinich knows that." [Emphasis added.]
For this we can thank Pelosi and Reid and the House Judiciary Committee. Here was Meteor Blades writing about them a year ago when there was talk about impeaching Cheney.
