New York (CNN Business) A version of this article first appeared in the "Reliable Sources" newsletter. You can sign up for free right here. This impeachment process is profoundly different than the ones that have come before. And many of the differences have to do with the media environment that we're all soaking in. Many stories and TV segments -- including some on "Reliable Sources" -- have homed in on the similarities between this impeachment and the Nixon and Clinton cases. And there is always value to be gleaned from history. But the differences are more interesting and more important. This is the first internet impeachment, the first of the smartphone age, and the first with Fox News as a top-rated channel. These screens and social media feeds and cable news screamers are changing the process, and, I'd argue, making it feel smaller, even though it is so big. That's why stories about online behaviors and voter opinions are so vital -- because we get a better sense of how … [Read more...] about Twitter, Fox News and the other ways in which this impeachment is different

New Zealand marks one week since deadly volcano eruption as search continues for bodies
(CNN)New Zealand on Monday marked one week since the deadly volcano eruption that came with little warning while 47 people were visiting White Island, as the search continues for the bodies of two people who remain missing. A nationwide minute's silence was held on Monday afternoon at 2:11 p.m. local time (8:11 p.m. Sunday E.T.) -- the time one week ago that the island, also known as Whakaari, erupted. The official death toll is now 16, including 15 people who died in New Zealand and one person who died after being transferred to Australia. Another two people are believed dead, with police saying their bodies are likely to be in the water around White Island. In a heartfelt Instagram post Monday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern paid tribute to those who did "extraordinary things to save lives," including health professionals and those who went to the island to recover bodies. "There are almost no words for the stories of both the aftermath and the loss that has followed," … [Read more...] about New Zealand marks one week since deadly volcano eruption as search continues for bodies

Lee Zeldin (R-NY) sounded off on the impeachment process following the House Judiciary Committee’s passage of two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.Zeldin told host John Catsimatidis he does not think House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wants to impeach Trump, but she has been “forced” by the far left of the Democratic Party. “We’re seeing so much oxygen in Washington get totally sucked up by this desire to try to overthrow the president. … It’s frustrating” Zeldin stated. “I give the speaker more credit than the other people do as far as her being a little more politically savvy. I don’t think that she brought forth this impeachment because she woke up one day and decided that impeachment was the right thing to do. I think that she got rolled by the far left of her conference. They forced her to take on … [Read more...] about Zeldin: Far Left ‘Forced’ Pelosi to Impeach Trump — ‘I Don’t Think She Wanted It’
