Releasing the January 6 footage JUST TO FAUX NEWS is dangerous to our Democracy.

So you agree, McCarthy should release the footage to the public, correct?

Sure, why not?

 

 


We agree.  I’m glad he gave it to Tucker.   I’d be even happier if he released it to the public. 
 

Given how much time and effort has been put into J6, it makes sense that the public should see it with our own eyes and not as dispensed by the J6 Committee and Tucker Carlson.

The whole world watched in horror that day - TC's cherry picking will have the same impact as Durham and the Twitter files.

Sacramento Bee Forced to Apologize for False Claims Against Charlie Kirk That Sparked Antifa Riots

I worked for one of the largest corporations in the country for quite a few years, and being a yappy soul, I was offered the opportunity to take some media training.  It was pretty interesting—though it should be noted it was not a deep dive into the subject, designed to get you from point A to point B without losing focus in a hostile situation, and pre-dated pretty much all of the technology at one’s disposal today.  I’m thinking 1998, 1999 or so. 
 

The outside firm that presented illustrated the various ways members of the media are trained to manipulate interviewees, organizations and that which you see.  One example was a grainy undercoveresque video showing a truck pulling up to the front of an office and a voice-over about destruction of files and questions about the practice, and what the video actually showed was the normal practice of shredding confidential information on a scheduled basis and a certified destruction company rolling up at about 12:30 in the afternoon. The story was done by a major news network. 
 

Another example is an ambush interview, where reporter approaches some hapless soul walking into the office, typically at a frantic pace, yelling to grab the subject’s attention with the hopes of overwhelming the individual and getting the desired sound bite.   The problem for most people is in stressful situations, they talk…and talk…and talk, some trying to be helpful, some get nervous, and many feel compelled to defend actions that often don’t need to be defended.  
 

At the Sacramento Bee, they surely know the rules of the game, and what they did was most certainly intentional and planned for the reasons outlined in this story.
