Most of the Credentialed Media has been in the pocket of the government in this whole thing, refusing to cover Americans who have been held in lockup for months and years, treated more harshly than murders
Newly Unearthed Jan. 6 Footage ‘Demolishes’ Dems’ ‘Insurrection’ Claims, Tucker Carlson Says
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday that footage of the Capitol riot “demolishes” claims by Democrats that an “insurrection” occurred on Jan. 6, 2021.
“We are about to show you surveillance footage from inside the United States Capitol. The images you will see were recorded 26 months ago today on January 6th, 2021,” Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and honorary board member of the Daily Caller News Foundation, said. “Until now, politicians have kept this tape hidden from the public. There is no legitimate justification for that and there never has been.”
Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the speaker of the House provided Carlson access to over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot, Axios reported. Previous reports indicated that the amount of footage was 14,000 hours.
“Once you see the video, you will understand why. Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6th was an insurrection,” Carlson said in a voice-over showing some of the released footage. “In fact, it demolishes that claim.”
“That is exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it,” Carlson continued. “By controlling the images you are allowed to view from January 6th, they control how the public understood that day.”
In the video, Tucker talks about how people are wandering around respectfully, how the Qanon Shaman was escorted by a bunch of police, with them showing him around. Yet, he was called dangerous. If so, why didn’t the cops arrest him? There’s no doubt a bunch were violent and unruly, and they should be punished.

Of course the Credentialed Media is upset
Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 Footage Dump Delivers the Sloppy Propaganda Kevin McCarthy Wanted
Using cherry picked clips, Carlson called Capitol rioters “orderly and meek” sightseers
Cherry picked? I do not remember Rolling Stone complaining about that from the J6 committee. (you can read the full article at Yahoo News)
From that jumping point, Carlson used cherry picked, time-stamp free clips to paint a picture of peaceful protesters who were being targeted by the Department of Justice and the Democratic party. Carlson’s use of the footage essentially amounted to a declaration that because Fox had identified some images of trespassers milling about, nothing uncouth actually happened in the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The Fox host and his guests crafted an image of peaceful protesters, who were ushered into the Capitol by police officers and spent their time exploring the complex with an air of “reverence.” Charlie Hurt, appearing as a guest on the show, falsely asserted that there was “no evidence” rioters inside the capitol were armed.
The article was published almost immediately after the show, so, it was mostly prewritten. RS did not care to give it a fair shake. I can remember when Rolling Stone was about power to the people, don’t trust the government, protesting. Now, they’re all about supporting Big Authoritarian Government.
And, then you had NBC News and Deadline, among others, diving in to protect the Government Narrative. Because that’s what they do, instead of attempting to see if the federal government is telling the whole truth. Can any of them explain why it’s called an insurrection yet not one person has been charged with insurrection?
