The Democrats' Staged Production of Propaganda Show and Tell

There is no "news" here. In a usual hearing, there are adversarial interrogators who ask witnesses questions they weren't expecting, and they badger and argue with them.

Here, the illegally-formed committee is monolithic, all handpicked by Nancy Pelosi. There are no Republicans on it, just two ex-Republicans, one of whom is retiring to spend more time with his MSNBC, the other who will be running as an Independent with Democrat support against the Republican candidate.

They will present videotaped and edited "testimony." This is canned material that could just be released as a DVD to the press. Instead, it's being sold as a completely fake "news" event.

Where is the "news"? What's live here? The presenters introducing the videotaped and carefully edited interviews?

Derek Hunter will find something else to do:

In the case of Democrats, maybe. They did sustain their attack until it was no longer needed, whereas the January 6th riot lasted a couple of hours. The majority of people who entered the Capitol that day did so on the Senate side, not the House side where the fighting was taking place. Having worked in that building I can tell you it's huge and it's easy to have zero clue what's happening on the other side of it while you're in it. As the small mob was breaking windows, more people walked in the Senate side through doors held open by Capitol Police. They even got directions to parts of the building from police so they could get the best selfies. There are police officers in Seattle and Portland still traumatized by Democrats trying to set them on fire with Molotov Cocktails and permanently blind them with green lasers who'd love to have had that kind of interaction with their mobs.

The American public has seen all of this footage for a year and a half and we're unimpressed. That some self-important blowhard politicians might've been scared for a few minutes that day, or a couple of staffers had a few nightmares is irrelevant, honestly. Not a single Member of Congress or their staff was physically assaulted. If they were a blood thirsty mob looking to murder, they really sucked at it.

Punish the people who did fight with police or did damage the building, but everyone else should be treated like they are Democrats and be given a BLM/ANTIFA pass. The only person killed that day was Ashli Babbitt and the cop who killed her didn't even face professional discipline, let alone charges. No matter how many times Joe Biden and other Democrats lie and claim police officers were killed that day it won't make it true.

So when the left drag this waste of time and money into prime time, complete with dancing Liz Cheneys, no one cares. We've heard it all already, we've seen it all already. That these people are content, even proud, of Americans being held in solitary confinement for more than a year for the "crime" of parading on government property tells you more about them than any of those arrested. That two leftist lawyers could get sweetheart deal slicing off 90 percent of the jail time they were facing for trying to kill police in the name of BLM/ANTIFA "justice" while Americans who were simply in DC that day are harassed tells you everything you need to know about where the real "threat to democracy" is coming from.

The hard left-liberal Democrat partisan and groomer-defender AllahPundit fumed that FoxNews wasn't carrying this event, but the clue is in FoxNews' name: Fox News. This isn't news.

This is a pageant, AllahPundit. This is a propaganda showcase. Just because it makes your pee-pee hard to see Democrat propaganda on TV, and just because your Inner Totalitarian sings at the thought of literally all networks carrying your favored propaganda, does not make this actual news which any news station should carry.

The theatrical directors of this propaganda pageant are now admitting there is no actual news here -- nothing actually new -- but only after having conned everyone except Fox into carrying this clip show live.

This is a real news event that all networks should carry live.

Except, disclaimer: There won't be anything new in this "news event."

The pageant even has a Hollywood producer to give it a slick sheen.

A man who previously spiked a story at ABC News that would have exposed Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking. (Correction: I previously said he spiked a Harvey Weinstein exposee.)

But yeah, AllahPundit, Noted Fan of Toni Morrison's Beloved (currently distributed in US school libraries as Genderqueer), this is "news" that everyone should be forced to carry.

Because you're such an anti-authoritarian, right? That's still your ridiculous self-conception, right? You leftist scumbag.

Why this scumbag is still permitted to work for "a conservative blog of news and opinion" is beyond me. It's quite bad enough that there's an obvious Liberal Democrat in Ed Morrissey, one of the people who just became slightly "conservative" after 9/11, like Little Green Footballs, and has moved back to the liberal Democrat side.

But to have an outrageous Christian-hating pro-groomer out-and-proud Democrat simp on a "conservative" blog? It's all too much.

Ah, maybe he'll have a watch party with his buddy, Lt. Bearclaw:

Alexander S. Vindman @AVindman

Must see TV!! I hope you join me in watching the 1/6 hearings. I think we will learn how close we came to loosing our Democracy.

Maybe they're at this watch party:

What channel is it on? All of them, except Fox News. Including Fox Business News, because, remember, Fox is a leftwing organization. It just has five or six openly conservative anchors as a profit driver to support the rest of the staff, who are as leftwing as Mao.

Oh and by the way, AllahPundit: I haven't heard you say a God-Damned thing about Chuck Schumer inciting people to kill Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

Why is that, groomer?

This thread for those of you who enjoy feeling anger and hatred at the end of the day.

PBS' live propaganda pageant coverage here.

For those of you who want to chill, remember, the Cafe is still open. These threads to don't stop just because there's a new thread on top.

I'm specifically declaring the Cafe thread open for business until the ONT.
