CBS: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Colbert was able to live-review the hearings on Thursday — just like an actor. Talking Dead Aftershow — to express his admiration for the show.
Colbert spent 17 minutes monologuing about it with a pile of hearing clips, and then aired another three segments (adding up to 14 minutes) with leftist MSNBC host Chris Hayes.
Colbert and Hayes exchanging stories about their lives was perhaps the best part.Masterpiece TheaterIt was politics! It was so unanimous! There was no distracting discord from the Pelosi Narrative
COLBERT: You’ve been reporting on politics for 20 years. Tonight is the ninth and eighth hearings.
HAYES: Eighth.
COLBERT – Eighth hearing tonight Which of the following has most surprised you? Was there anything that surprised you the most in regard to these eight hearings, or about any of them?
HAYES: Well I think the sheer amount of new information they have uncovered is genuinely remarkable.
COLBERT : How they have given it to me.
HAYES: That is the other – that’’s exactly what I was going to say. As a TV practitioner it is. tour de forceProduction.
COLBERT: I think it’s going to change how any congressional hearing —
HAYES: Absolutely
COLBERT: – is held to a standard because, you know, the circus that usually happens is no longer going to be seen as entertainment. This is both informative and entertaining ( Applause
HAYES: Yes. Yes, I do. You must have at least one of these qualifications. Unanimity among members of the commission across all party linesTo get to the bottom and present their case before the American people. It is not often the truth. Jim Jordan would be proud to wear his shirt sleeves
COLBERT: Right.
HAYES: – and everything is You can’t be what they are doing, so break it down in response, reply, and minority time.
COLBERTThis is proof Kevin McCarthy doesn’t deserve to be Speaker. Because he does not understand politics enough to be able to see what his game is. (Applause)
Former president of ABC News James Goldston was hired by the Pelosi-Picked Panel to produce a television presentation from these hearings. It seems particularly produced for prime-time. This wasn’t so much a hearing, but a story. It consisted of exposition, carefully selected clips and explanations. It was ….a narrative.
There was however a worrying trend in media liberals celebrating the “unity and purpose” at the hearings. This went unchallenged by conservative Jim Jordans providing any counter-arguments. ABC reporter Terry Moran, spelling check for Luria):
It is inspiring to see Reps. Kinzinger, Lucia and all of their efforts in presenting this shocking evidence together.
These two veterans were opposed on many political issues and now they are cooperating under the Constitution that they pledged to defend.
That’s the way America used to be.

Scott Simon, NPR’s Saturday host:
I just want to note the Democratic chair of the committee just gracefully, and with full confidence, turned over the running of tonight’s hearing to the vice-chair, who happens to be of another party, and they spoke with mutual trust and respect. That’s how it’s supposed to go.
