    "At one point Thursday afternoon, Rep. Adam Kinzinger was on CNN recounting what he was doing a year earlier when the U.S. Capitol was attacked. At the same time, MSNBC was reporting on the Justice Department probe into what led up to the riot."

    "Yet on Fox News Channel, the story was something else entirely. The network, stocked with hosts allied with former President Donald Trump, aired video of a painting dog. It served as a potent illustration of how conservative media often refuses to acknowledge the severity of what happened last year."

    "Between 6:20 and 9 a.m. on the agenda-setting “Fox & Friends” show, the anniversary was mentioned twice — once in a news headline package and another as an aside by host Brian Kilmeade to suggest Biden wanted to direct attention to topics that were less damaging to him."

    "Instead, the show interviewed Lara Trump about how much time Biden spent in Delaware; spoke to a nurse fired for not being vaccinated against COVID-19; reported on the “credibility crisis” at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; brought on a former U.S. Marine who had criticized Biden’s Afghanistan pullout; gave Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis time to “step up” and announce distribution of COVID test kits; and featured commentator Charles Payne saying that “every time Biden opens his mouth ... he insults the American people.”

    What is interesting that rather than reflect or even report on the day, it appears these media vehicles decided to rather brush aside the day, ignore it, as if it was an event that occurs regularly.

    If there is an alternative narrative, why didn't they take the time to present it rather than just rooting their heads in the sand? And what does the regular viewer of those networks take from the this detachment?

    And on the flip side you had idiotic left-wing media acting like it was equal to or worse than Pearl harbor.

    Also why did your left wing media networks neglect to report on that day their attempted coup after the 2016 election?

    They wanted States representatives to go against the will of the voters and go in an unprecedented manner that has never been done before to defy the electoral college.

    And they pushed a fake Russia collusion hoax for the next 4 years.

    But naturally that has disappeared down the left wing media memory hole

    Alright, two things, first off, that is a deflection, a whataboutism, and secondly, some quote taken out of context by Steve Bannon an echoed amongst right wing sources has no relevance to the topic

    If you can not contribute to the exchange, don't bother

    I made a wry comment the other day about leftists making this Jan6 nonsense into a date that will live in infamy like Pearl Harbor Day, Dec7. Just hours ago I actually heard somebody argue for it. NPR radio I think.

    Don't know why I bother, but what "coup?"

    It was a Trump appointee within a Trump Justice Dept who decided upon a Special Council to look into Russian involvement in the election, not a Democrat, so you are incorrect from the jump

    Amazing, the Pearl Harbor thing came from a Bannon webcast where Stevie took a VP comment out of context and attempted to float it as a deflection, obviously, from what one sees here, some swallowed it

    So the Jan6 insurrection is in no way comparable to Pearl Harbor. How may years will the media be celebrating it then? I realize this is only year one.

    What else could they do. The Republicans have put all their futures into Trump as their Leader,

    Can't admit the Truth as all American who saw and Heard Trump rally his supporters to take back the Government.

    Their only play is to rewrite History.

    Trump is being sued by the Police officers who were being attacked

    Evidence coming forward shows the participation of Right Wing Politicians and Media in planning the insurrection

    This is not going to end well for Trump or the Republicans

    I don't listen to Steve Bannon nor do I watch TV so I don't know what you're talking about.

    But I have read the newspaper headlines talking about a day of infamy.

    There are two sides to every story if you wish to present one you should be prepared to hear the other as well.

    It may be uncomfortable but it's true

    What they should've done is ask why this 'insurrection' has yet to result in any charges of insurrection. 8 months ago it was because 'we're still building a case.' But its been a year. How long does it take to build a case for insurrection charges?

    Forever?

    Or is there no case for insurrection charges...

    Because it wasn't an insurrection.

    Your daily posts, desperately pushing that narrative, is 100% politically driven.

    It's cannon fodder. The majority of people agree and aren't biting your attempts.

    Well at Pearl Harbor we had the Japanese attack the US. A year ago we had Trump Nation attack the US. Seems like a big deal to me. Sad you don't see what is clear to people with actual "critical thinking" skills.

    2011 Wisconsin capital building was stormed much to the enjoyment of Nancy Pelosi.

    Ya. I don't think I give two shits about the Jan 6th stuff anymore. According to Nancy, that is what democracy in action looks like...

    Because there wasn't any. There were a lot of protests but there was the peaceful transfer of power as always. The loser of the election conceded the election which still hasn't happened since 2020. That's why.
    Remind me again if that happened.....oh yeah, it didn't. Did any Democrats have a "war room" to accomplish that? No. Can you name any Clinton supporters that had a "Green Bay Sweep" plan? No
    Wasn't a hoax. We've gone WAY past that now......but since you brought that up. If I were Biden, I would negotiate with Russia to get the goods (Russia has the goods on Trump).
    Not to me

    I don't know how long it takes, do you? When was the last time this happened again? How long does an IRS audit of taxes take....decades?

    Could it be that "insurrections" are 100% politically driven. Why yes, yes they are.

    Democracy in action is people with signs standing for a photo op. That's what your picture is. WTF are you thinking comparing that to Jan 6. Are all of you this clueless?

    I had Fox on the TV as I did my normal things around the house and I certainly saw several discussions to do with Jan 6. They carrier the statements of Biden, Harris, Schumer I didn't see Pelosi and don't know if she made one. Even heard about the Hamilton musical interlude on several of the shows throughout the morning. Was it SOLE coverage no, it there was no need for it to be. There is been NO lack of coverage about Jan 6 on Fox they are in full coverage on the ongoing committee for instance.

    You didn't fall for Harris's trying to equate it to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 did you?

    They were not there because they were invited or suppose to be you know? They were there to intimidate. Because they didn't like something that congress was doing.

    They were not there for a ****ing photo op. lol.

    So ya. I don't give a **** about Jan 6th.
