Media’s January 6th Insurrection Against Truth

Yes, the January 6th“insurrection” is real.

Oh, not the riotous behavior at the U.S. Capitol a year ago.  I mean the one today… January 6, 2022. When MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post and other alleged “news” organizations make Third Reich propaganda queen Leni Reifenstahl look like a piker by comparison as they roll out hour after hour of hysterical, hand-wringing coverage of events last January. Nazi films like “Triumph of the Will” giving way to shaky cellphone images of the Q-Anon Shaman in that dumb Viking hat and ominous, Darth Vader music.

Not since the canonization of George Floyd and the alibis the media made for the violent riots and looting that followed (as if smashing store windows and grabbing 10 bags of Doritos somehow amounted to “social justice”) has more ridiculous, over-hyped coverage been ramped up for today’s “first anniversary of the worst assault on American democracy that ever occurred.”

But like mosquitoes drawn to an high-voltage electric bug-zapper, liberal media doofuses simply cannot help pulling back the curtain on their real agenda..which is—to quote our current ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel—to never let a good crisis go to waste. 

On Wednesday, for example, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program featured Maryland congressman Jamie Raskin being interviewed on his “harrowing” experience in the House Chamber…made all the more poignant because the riots happened one day after burying his son who had committed suicide (for which all parents like me grieve on his behalf.) But he quickly segued into how January 6thmust serve as a springboard for passage of Democrats “voting rights laws” (?) and he threw in a smarmy, personal attack on Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz just for good measure. Figures, since he was the lead “manager” of the failed second Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.  Oh, and Mika Brzezinki added to “please buy his new book.”

Speaking of Trump, the “nonpartisan” January 6thSelect Committee is now doling out subpoenas like candy corn at Morticia Addams house, including one for the cell phone records of former White House national security strategist Dr. Sebastian Gorka. (Full disclosure: Dr. Gorka hosts the nationally syndicated AMERICA FIRST talk show heard on the Salem Radio Network, of which I am Vice President.) But as he declared at Charlie Kirk’s AMERICA Fest gathering recently, “Nancy Pelosi has chosen the wrong enemy” and Gorka has since filed a lawsuit to block access to his private records.

However, the Left’s McCarthyism-style smearing of conservatives doesn’t stop with Gorka: at the request of “Republican” co-chair Liz Cheney the committee this week issued an invitation to FOX News host Sean Hannity to “voluntarily appear” before the committee and “answer questions” about his private communications with President Trump leading up to January 6, 2022.  I don’t personally know Sean Hannity (have met him a few times over the years at radio industry events) but my impression of Sean is that he’s about as likely to “voluntarily appear” before a Congressional kangaroo court as Liz Cheney is to be asked to play the Dowager Countess in the next “Downton Abby” film.

The simple fact is that from the “nonpartisan” Select Committee (featuring guest appearances by the aforementioned “GOP” co-chair Liz Cheney and her fellow RINO Adam “where’d my district go?” Kinzinger) to the many faux documentaries on the launching pad at CNN, MSNBC, ABC and others, today’s “one year anniversary” of the “insurrection” at the Capitol is little more than a thinly-disguised, multi million dollar  in-kind contribution to the Democratic National Committee in their non-stop Trump bashing. And yes, that’s the same DNC whose employees just voted overwhelmingly to unionize…raising the delicious spectacle that the party’s staff could go on strike and be walking picket lines during the upcoming Red Tsunami also known as our midterm elections.  Pure comedy gold:  the DNC is now the linear equivalent of baristas at Starbucks, since both have unionized and most of them also appear to have been in some kind of horrible fishing accidents.

All kidding aside, the absurdly over-the-top “news” coverage of today’s January 6thanniversary…coupled with Fifth Columnists in the world of “journalism” like George Stephanopoulos or Chuck Todd and weasels like Associated Press “White House correspondent” Jonathan Lemire, last seen on MSNBC shaking his head in disgust over “GOP opposition to voting rights”…is the dictionary definition of an insurrection.  Against the truth. And against the public’s right to unbiased, fair coverage of the news.

But of course that ship sailed years ago.  So TV viewers—and the literally dozens of Americans left who still read newspapers—can be fully confident that all day today…what they read and watch will be nothing more than anti-Trump brainwashing, perpetrated by dishonest and unethical organizations who bear no actual connection with the word “news.”   Pathetic, but true.

On the “plus” side:  only 306 days left until Midterms on November 8th.

If Biden’s Merrick Garland thinks intelligent American conservatives actually got together for an ‘insurrection’... AND after serious discussion agreed the ‘weapon of choice’ to take over the American Government was - wait for it - FLAG POLES - then white liberal ‘elites’ like Merrick Garland are deluding themselves...

Biden - it was closer to an “Occupy Congress” protest that went bad. Two windows were broken and one door damaged. “Occupy Congress” lasted less than 5 hours...

BLM and Antifa rioted for over 300 days and caused over two billion dollars in damage to cities in flyover... and you Biden, and your white liberal ‘elites’ didn’t give a damn because it wasn’t YOUR city and the rioters were on your team. History will not be kind to you Biden...

It wasn’t an insurrection.

It was an occupation.

And I thought the Left liked occupations.

It seems the State is severely overplaying their hand here and people can easily see what is really intended by all of the DC Swamp’s bullsh*t.

But who knows. The public’s powers of discernment aren’t what they used to be.

I won’t watch a single second of “January 6th” media circus, but I suspect that MSNBC will be the clown in the center ring, and CNN will be the clown in one of the other rings, and I hear that FOX is going to feature Liz Cheney on the Bret Bair show.

What’s truly stunning is that the events on the west coast that included arson, declared revolution, riots and murders were reported as harmless protests. And they couldn’t resist showing buildings and vehicles ablaze but still maintained it was peaceful, not the least bit concerned that people might believe their own eyes.

Ted Cruz got an early start assisting the Democrats yesterday with his remark that Jan. 6 was a violent terrorist attack.

Comedy gold, right there.

The pictures of the Qanon Buffalo dude and the other misfit toy types around him that the media has been happy to show as an example of who Trump supporters really are doesn’t exactly jive with their “fainting couch” behavior about this being an insurrection and on par with 9/11.

That, combined with Joe’s semi-coherent ramblings do more harm to the Democrats than anything Republicans could say.

My local USA-owned fish-wrapper was filled with lies and propaganda today.

I have to agree. There are two reasons he might have said what he did, neither of them reflect well on him - either he’s on board with the bullshit narrative intended to diminish a political force DC cannot control & finds threatening, or he’s another self centered denizen of DC who really believes 1/6 was among the worst things to happen to the US in 250 years.

IMO its the former.

If they thought that J6 was an “insurrection” just wait till we get really pissed.

The media thinks they will be the last to get eaten.

If the 100,000 persons that attended President Trump's rally attacked the capitol building it would have been totally destroyed.

Did Buyden discover a miracle cure for Alzheimer's and why is he not sharing it?

All they really have is “tresspassing.”

Everything else is more or less made up junk.

The DOJ has become a political tool. That was apparent with Comey and him protecting HRC with her server. The infamous tarmack meeting where Lynch and HRC claimed to have spoken about their grandchildren (hahaha). Going after Project Vertas because of a journal. The DOJ not wanting to touch Hunters laptop. FISA use to surveil Trump tower in 2016. 6 January and the heavy handed and full resource initiative to discredit, humiliate and intimidate political opponenets. Going after parents that are a bit to vocal in their disagreement with school boards at the request of a Union.

It is apparent that the DOJ is neither neutral nor objective.

They have allowed themselves to become a player on the political chess board.

It's only a plus if the problems are met with solutions where Cheney gets the boot and dozens of actual conservatives get elected. So far I haven't heard McCarthy echo this sentiment.

That’s why I’m really not excited about the midterms at all. If RINOs get elected, it’s just another step backwards.

Yep, I can't get excited about electing more Cheney's or Kinzingers. Same old "I put a spell on you" smoke and mirrors campaign from the GOP how they will "do better" with no specifics.

I am sure that all 15 viewers will be getting thrills up their legs.
