The pilot episode of the January 6 hearings doomed the entire season.
The ratings don’t lie: America is not enthralled. Despite unprecedented coordination on behalf of the mainstream media to synchronize coverage of the Democrats’ mockumentary, the left-wing smokescreen failed to capture the hearts and minds of the nation.
America does not want to J6 and chill.
Despite their greatest attempts at hyping the insufferable premier, CNN pulled in lower numbers than Tucker Carlson’s show the night before, which opened the Thursday 8 p.m. hour with a promise not to air the committee’s lies. CBS’s own “Let’s Make a Deal” and “The Price is Right” drew more viewers Wednesday night than the committee’s coverage received Thursday on the same network. More Americans watched basketball last Thursday than watched the hearings this Thursday. The only bombshells in the first hearing were the ratings.
In an uncharacteristic validation of the American peoples’ sentiment, even Bloomberg pulled away from the hearing minutes after it began to resume coverage of an abysmal economy under Joe Biden, floundering stock markets, and an America careening towards recession. Americans simultaneously began clicking away from the charade.
The sham committee’s failure to produce a small screen sensation was not for lack of trying. They used teleprompters to read off their scripted monologues, hired former television executives to produce the drama, and selectively edited testimony from the witnesses. They refused to release full interviews from their witness testimony, and removed persons of interest from their videos to cover alternative storylines.
They had to. Otherwise, their narrative wouldn’t be compelling; the evidence would undermine the committee’s political agenda. And from a committee that already tested the waters with changing evidence to fit their narrative, their highly-produced and drastically-altered presentation of that day shouldn’t surprise Americans. As booted January 6 fact-finder Representative Jim Banks (R-Ind.) pointed out, perhaps “selective editing committee” is a more appropriate name.
Americans watch TV and go to the movies so they can forget their worries, unplug, and disengage from reality. That’s what Democrats hoped to accomplish with their highly-produced hearing on Thursday and what they plan to display in their subsequent presentations; they want to distract the American people from their stunning failure to lead or deliver the most fundamental of necessities like affordable gas, low-cost food, and baby formula.
Democrats can now add “televised distraction campaign sideshow” to their growing list of failures. You could find more substantive solutions for the nation by watching HGTV or ESPN.
Democrats could be spending their time investigating the root causes of the baby formula shortage, high gas prices, and the impending recession. But that would expose their abysmal leadership failures and draw Americans’ attention from the very thing they wish to divert attention from. There has never been a clearer contrast for the American people: Joe Biden and the Democrats want to put themselves first, President Trump and Republicans want to put America First. Democrats simply cannot produce results, and so they distract. You saw this phenomenon in the Mueller hearings, during both impeachments, and now you see it in the January 6 charade.
There will be more episodes of the January 6 committee’s hearings in the coming days. In Hollywood, this flop would be canceled. In Washington, their budget is built with your money, so expect more of the same. Each episode will have the same goal and purpose: dominate the screens of Americans to divert attention from Democrats’ cataclysmic failure to lead the nation.
But for Americans, it’s hard to enthrall yourself in revisionist history when you have overdrawn your checking account at Exxon on the way home. And with ratings like these, J6 may suffer a shorter lifespan than CNN+.
I liked the part with the dancing.
I can’t get enough dancing on tv.
The latest episode of NETFLIX “Orange Man Bad! Season 6”
Poor casting, a lousy script, and a slow pace doomed this show.
I think the far left politicians and Bonzo’s far left FIB boyz all need to see a shrink. President Trump is running circles around their big dumb asses. Friggin’ losers. President Trump is living in their empty skulls rent free.
It jumped the shark before it even aired.
That’s impressive.
I knew it was doomed when noticing there was no “live” thread in the sidebar.
It was so bad ...
How bad was it?
It was so bad that Barnum and Bailey said they would only rent them one circus ring for the next event.
Circular firing squad on steroids.
I was out in the back yard picking up dog poop.
I swear to God, we’re living that movie.
“Steiner’s January 6th Committee will bring it all under control.”
“Mein Fuhrer....Steiner....”
epic fail. There are more interested people sitting in a high school play or band concert or soccer field than are interested in this obvious political show.
“Mein Fuhrer....Steiner.... HAS FAILED”
What it needed to have been a success.
1) Movie stars give testimony with tears at what they felt.
2) New blockbuster facts about what happened.
3) Liz Chaney does stripteases
4) Muppets give testimony—Big Bird could have been put under oath.
5) More singing— the One Democrat pol should have done Mary Poppins song about Trump.
6) More comedians to Mock Trump as “The Great Dictator” like Chaplin did to Hitler.
7) Best way—get Trump to testify on camera!!! Then people would have watched.
8) Needed twists. The as an end Nancy Pelosi takes the stand and resigns on camera, taking the blame for the whole mess.
Now that would have been a show.
When they tried to cast Liz and Adam as the stars of this extravaganza they lost it. No one wants to hear or see those two. Boring and uncongenial and nothing to say but blah blah blah Trump blah Trump blah blah blah.
Performing on a stool
We’ve a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool
We would like it to be known
The exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own
All our own. All our own
It was written by George and Jerry. The show about nothing.
