New York Times television critic James Poniewozik declared in his end of the year review that the January 6 Committee hearings were the "most important TV of the year."
"It’s no insult to call this investigation, above, into the attack on democracy a TV show; that was its power and its accomplishment," Poniewozik wrote. "Deploying deft editing, story structure, graphics, suspense, social media virality and, yes, a touch of showmanship, the hearings made a public service into the show of the summer and the most important TV of the year."
Earlier this year, Poniewozik compared the hearings to a true-crime drama.
"The proceedings had familiar hallmarks, including live testimony and opening remarks from Mr. Thompson and from the vice chairwoman, Representative Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming. But it was packaged like a prime-time news special

Who watched anyway, no one I know did
The 2020 Summer of BLM/Antifa riots hearings should have been the most important TV of the year, except those hearings never happened
It truly made the democrats look like shit to the rest of America that can still think. But then, it’s certainly not the first time one of their plans have backfired on them.
There.
This is funny, the has been media saying the Democrats are relevant. Hehehe
No one watched this Democrat Party propaganda fest sheeeeet. Jan 6th is way down the list of what Americans are concerned about. Number 23, near global warming.
The New York who?
Most important of the year? Damn! I missed it.
The part of the hearing where Jerry Nadler broke so much wind that the Capitol had to be closed down was must see TV.
pats on the back for failure but a success story for propaganda
Never got into the television habit. I stream some, DIY on YouTube, concert DVDs... just never got into it. As a military brat, expat... o’seas TV was pretty cheezy... read alot, still do.
It’s just low budget Stalinist show trials
Right up there with the World Cup as far as boring goes.
This is like a bunch of overweight cat lady Karen’s getting together, well - six feet apart with plastic panes between them - and declaring that paper masks are the sexiest fashion statement ever!
Now there's someone who is an absolute video game NINJA!
I’d rather watch reruns of That’s My Momma.

The New York Times = The Comrade Times
Trust nothing in it
It’s so predicable from the leftist activist media it’s humorous. Like Zalensky man of the year, I’m surprised he didn’t have to share with Liz Cheney.
Was at my doctor’s office today for a blood draw, and the guy sitting in the waiting room across from me noticed my Trump 2020 mask. He said, “Just out of curiosity, would you vote for him again?”, and I said “Absolutely.” He started in about President Trump’s use of the English language, and I said, “I’ve been called a Astroturfer, a Deplorable, and all sorts of names by democrats; I like a guy who can give as good as he gets.” Then I started into all of President Trump’s accomplishments, and he said, “That’s debatable.” So I said, give me the name of one politician in either party who could have done what President Trump did in 4 years. No answer. I thought so. Then I got my blood drawn.
