Updated title: It's time for Impeachment. Trump used taxpayer money to try and extort the Ukrainian Government to fabricate a scandal

The revelations that Trump explicitly committed High Crimes by tasking a Foreign Government to interfere with the United States in exchange for taxpayer money flies in the face of what the Fourth Estate wants and needs to be true. Trump's Treason and ties to the Ukrainian Mob ruins the media narrative. The are only 4 stories the media wants to run on Donald Trump:

1. Both Sides Do It...
2. Democrats in Disarray!
3. What do Trump voters think?
4. Today, Trump, truly became President

But, in reality Trump is a mobbed-up grifter who's never accomplished anything without the help of criminal actions. Trump's ties to the Mafia underworld stretch back to his days in the 1970's Manhattan real estate business, continued to his links to Russian crime lords in the 1990's (when no reputable financial institution would give him any money) and now reaches into other countries.

President Trump told his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to hold back almost $400 million in military aid for Ukraine at least a week before a phone call in which Trump is said to have pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate the son of former vice president Joe Biden, according to three senior administration officials.

Of course, Trump tried to strong-arm the Ukrainian Government and offered them an explicit Quid Pro Quo; it's Criminal Traitor Trump's modus operandi. But, having a flagrant criminal and shameless grifter in the White House can not be the truth so enter the media. This doesn't mean Faux News, because they aren't a media source, but a propaganda channel furiously disseminating lies and #agitprop for the Magat Horde to consume and regurgitate. No this is the so-called Vaunted Fourth Estate, who have spent the last 4 years feverishly working to legitimize Trump and running the BothSidesDoIt playbook (All props to Driftglass), whenever confronted with the gross naked horror of what Trump truly is. 

Russian pimps and gangsters, who after years of studying conservatives, knew exactly what to say to tickle the rightwing lizard brain in 2016. Trump knows how he won in 2016 he's going to use the same technique to win in 2020, namely getting a foreign government to fabricate, disseminate, and replicate lies and propaganda to the American people.

Rudy Giuliani spent the last week attempting the Dick Cheney gambit by leaking lies to the media and then breathlessly proclaiming 'Even the liberal media is reporting...'

Because, Trump (or more likely) his cadre of criminal co-conspirators know once these lies and smears are pushed into the American bloodstream, the disingenuous media will shrug and proclaim, 'Some people say...' and 'This story is out there...' and 'People are talking about it, so that means we must as well...'

Of course, the Magat Horde is unreachable, they have their automatic "Fake News!" retort memorized like a incantation to magic away anything which interferes with their love of The Chosen One. As the refrain goes don't take Trump literally take him symbolically.

Trump symbolizes all the raw naked hatred which constitutes the core being of conservatives. Thus, they will never abandon him. Indeed, they can not abandon Trump because it will mean abandoning their true selves. And faced with such a paradigm, it won't take much for conservatives who live for #OwntheLibs to be nudged by Trump's desperation into #KilltheLibs, in order to avoid reckoning with what they've become.
