NEW NewsBusters Podcast: ‘Historic’ Democrat Actions on 1/6 Probe Dominate TV News

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss how the networks obsess over every finding of the hyper-partisan January 6 Committee in the House, and how they tout their “historic rebukes” of Trump by “holding accountable” his former staffers (like chief of staff Mark Meadows) with “criminal charges” of contempt of Congress. The Republican-majority House held Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder under contempt. They were often unable to give more than 30 second explanations. 

CNN was particularly obsessed with text messages sent by Fox News stars to Meadows, begging for Trump’s intervention to end the rioting. This was surprising considering how little interest they had in Don Lemon’s messages to Jussie and Chris Cuomo’s emails to the New York governor’s staffers.

By contrast with all the 1/6 “accountability,” it’s become softball season on television for the Bidens and for Hillary Clinton, with CBS and NBC offering promotional platforms for Democrat messaging, for “Build Back Better” and against spineless democracy-destroying Republicans.
