It was difficult to pick just one moment during the initial House Select Committee hearings.
It's not impossible.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC broadcasted the hearing. It's by any reasonable definition news. It was more important to cover what happened.
The word reasonable is the one that's used. Fox News didn't show them live.
There's more to it than that. Fox News had more than one prime-time lineup. It wanted to undermine the hearings.
Carlson said at the start of his show that the whole thing was offensive. It is insane. We are not participating. This is the only time a news channel in the US will not broadcast live. We won't help them do it because they are lying.
How much was it that they were trying to undermine the validity of the hearings? Fox News didn't run commercials on Carlson's show. It's an investment in making the hearings look bad.
The January 6th show trial is under way.
"Democrats will destroy anyone that supports them." So on.
The worst day in Trump's presidency happened on TV.
That wasn't the strangest thing. The committee was in the process of showing a 12-minute video of the attack on the U.S. Capitol which was urged on by former President Donald Trump.
Jake Tapper said on CNN that they had never seen anything like it before.
Hallie Jackson said that it was hard to watch. The committee wanted to get across that.
While it was played on every other channel, he called the hearings boring, belittling CNN and the other networks for covering the proceedings.
You need to open your eyes. It was impossible to ignore the fact that this was an attempt to undermine the democratic process. It was really frightening.
You have to watch it if you know this.
The scheduling of the hearing for prime time was a sign that the committee wanted to be seen. They hired James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, as an adviser.
It is also an unusual move. All of these things are shown on television. TV is what we experience when we see this show.
It was gripping and important.
The party is afraid of something. The state of Arizona The GOP said media are domestic terrorists.
It was gripping and important. There were many big moments if the video was the center of the testimony. Liz Cheney, one of the two Republicans on the committee, went to great lengths to detail what the committee would say over the course of the hearings.
She said that there will be a day when Donald Trump is gone, but you will not be forgotten.
William Barr, who was the U.S. Attorney General at the time, said that the fraud claims were nonsense and that they were a grave disservice to the country. The claims of fraud were called bullshit by him.
I respect the attorney general. I agreed with what he said.
These words were said by a Democrat.
There wasn't any That was the daughter of the president.
This was essential viewing but also frightening. What could it not be?
I suppose you could ask Fox News. Sean Davis, the CEO of the conservative publication the Federalist, told Carlson that he felt like we were watching the dissolution of the republic.
Most people felt that way on January 6.
