January 6th/21 - fallout

How is it possible to trust anything that anyone at Fox says? After they acknowledged their senior management and highest profile anchors lied to viewers and knowingly supported false narratives regarding the 2020 election, they don't have an ounce of credibility.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday issued a rare rebuke to Fox News for airing selectively edited footage of the January 6 assault on the Capitol on Tucker Carlson's show on Monday night.

At the top of his weekly press conference at the Capitol, McConnell produced a print-out of an internal letter from US Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manager describing the footage as "offensive and misleading."

"With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of Capitol Police about what happened on January 6," said McConnell.

But this week, several Senate Republicans blasted the depiction of the footage, with Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina telling reporters that Carlson's portrayal was "*bleep*."

A group of Senate Republicans, including North Carolina's Thom Tillis, pushed back on Fox News' host Tucker Carlson's description of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, with Tillis calling Carlson's remarks "bulls---."

Tillis went on to call Carlson's description of the riot "inexcusable," comparing it to the people who downplayed the violent protests in Wisconsin after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

How do we trust any of them?
CNN, terminated its old CEO and apologized for its biased approach to news feeding in favor of the democrat's. The new CEO has promised to change the media giant back to a trusted, reliable source without obvious political influence.
MSNBC, has lost more viewership than any media giant in history because of its use of its media power to direct influence based only on political support.
Zuckerberg clearly acknowledged his use of censoring before election to support his political choice.
They are all corrupt as hell.
Then we have CBC, trudeau's very own political media feeding source.
Global has become the most pathetic woke teaching media source ever.
Question is, who is left to trust, because trying to pass it off as a fox issue is nothing more than trying to support ones own political party. which is as bad as what these media giants are doing in the first place.
Fox seems to be the only source actually attacking the current governments and obvious issues. So I'll give em credit for that. Because clearly none of the others are into this to supply people with unbiased news.

"Ashlii Babbit, who was executed by the Capitol Police." Jan 6

[Mazdatruck]

Funny what happens when you get to see the WHOLE tape.

Multiple cops escorted in and allowed the QaNon Shaman right into the building.

This was always just a big giant scene that was allowed to play out, to gather images used to "create outrage" and "criminalize being a republican". This was (wrongfully) used as a pretext to ban Trump from Twitter, effectively silencing a sitting President. This was all a giant political operation, smear job. The Reichstag Fire.

But that is not the whole tape, look at it all then comment. making judgement off of 3 clips is like saying no one got hurt.

LOL, How can you trust any news outlet, especially the msm? If you dont think they all lie well, youre beyond hope. As I said, those who support the social democrats will deny the truth no matter if its staring them in the face.

But you who support the current US government felt free to judge and comment when the msm showed you the same three clips over and over again.

I don’t trust any news outlet. This thread took a turn and folks began posting links to Fox and Tucker Carlson like they’re a source that can be trusted.

They’re self-admitted liars who pander to their audience for ratings… they said it themselves.

Do you mean the mostly peaceful protest on Jan 6th? It was mostly peaceful, but yes, sadly, an unarmed woman was gunned down by the cops. I hope she gets her own statue.

Not sure I support the current administration but yes I do feel free to judge, when people just make stuff up or twist the truth.

As long as we agree there was violence and out of control trump supporters at what could have a peaceful event.
