Where Was Fox News Last Night?

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Did the January 6 committee really cut through the “thick fog of propaganda” around the attack? Not if you watched Fox News, which didn’t broadcast the hearing. (Guardian correspondent) Adam Gabbatt took a look at what they showed in its place: The millions of people who tuned into America’s main television channels on Thursday heard how the January 6 insurrection was “the culmination of an attempted coup”, a “siege” where violent Trump supporters mercilessly attacked police, causing politicians and staffers to run for their lives.

On the Fox News channel, however, there was a different take on the historic congressional hearings exploring the attack on the Capitol in Washington DC.

The deadly riot was, according to the channel’s primetime host Tucker Carlson, “an outbreak of mob violence, a forgettably minor outbreak by recent standards, that took place more than a year and a half ago”.

This was the alternate reality that Carlson, Fox News’ most-watched host, presented as he opened his hour-long show. He followed it up with a boast: the rightwing network would not be covering one of the most consequential political hearings in recent American history.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Haven’t watch fox since the elections. And I’m certainly not watching that clowns show. Let me know when they want to investigate when the left was trying to burn down the country in 2020.

I think Carlson's been talking about it a couple times...I do suspect if (and increasingly when) Republicans retake the House, they'll talk about it.

Actually I don’t want them to waste time and tax payer money on it. I want the states and cities to do it and get these people off the streets.
