Unlike some of my friends on the Right, I understand the criticism of Kevin McCarthy’s decision to give Tucker Carlson exclusive access to the footage of January 6. Partisans can manipulate video, especially 41,000 hours of it, and even Tucker presumably wouldn’t disagree that he’s a partisan. It’s easy to slice up video to serve the narrative you prefer, to enhance and manipulate it, and to add dramatic flourishes to increase its emotional impact.
And we can understand that by discovering what the January 6 committee did with the video, which appears to include all of the above. I missed this over the weekend, but Miranda Devine reported that the early word from Carlson’s review is how silent the source video was:
But when you see what Carlson’s team has put together over the past two weeks of combing through thousands of hours of video, you will be struck by how different the reality was inside the building that day compared to the J6 committee’s deceptively edited primetime dramas, produced by a former ABC News president for maximum emotional impact.
For instance, Carlson’s team says the J6 committee added audio to silent CCTV footage, inserting screams and other crowd mayhem sounds, to make it seem more ominous. The bookmarks on the video trove show the J6 committee had access to the same footage yet chose to show America only what suited its divisive narrative.
There’s no sugarcoating what happened that day: J6 was shocking and violent in parts. It remains a stain on the nation, but it was not an “insurrection” or a “terrorist” attack.
Sound effects? Really? The use of a former ABC News exec to package the video was well known prior to McCarthy’s grant of exclusive access to Carlson...

Yes, the literally hired ABC news to create a dramatic fictional video series of a make believe insurrection using the J6 footage.
Then the committee members never watched the actual video so they could claim plausible deniability later. They are horrible evil tyrants willing to jail and even murder innocent citizens in there quest for power!
The J6 TV show was produced by some Hollywood dude so the whole thing was banana republic style kabuki theater.
Sound effects?? Hell yeah they used them!
Very good - thanks for posting.
“...It’s easy to slice up video to serve the narrative you prefer, to enhance and manipulate it...”
Uhm...Ed
Yeah, it’s freakin easy to sell your own narrative without a challenge.
Now the one sided Hollywood Shiite Show presented to America over the last two years can be challenged with all the video available to any honest interrogator
What about Ray Epps and the scaffold commander guy??
What about the big bad bomber at the DNC and GOP party offices who’s right on tape??
What about BLM and Antifa plants getting off buses??
FED! FED! FED! It was partly a FEDSURRECTION!
BTW, today I have heard a new word in concert on every network. The phrase "Deeper Dive" is in full force. I've heard it nineteen times in three hours.
“It’s easy to slice up video to serve the narrative you prefer, to enhance and manipulate it, and to add dramatic flourishes to increase its emotional impact.”
So? The junta is the only one allowed to do that at the moment. If our side did no, McCarthy could quickly demolish it be releasing the unaltered tape.
He is still hiding the truth.
The author is defiantly naive.
If videos had been released to the general public, 10,000 Americans working privately would have analyzed every second of these videos within 3 days. The entire truth would have been out already
Hollywood has friends in government, if it is mentioned they did it
I think the Democrats owe this country a huge apology. This country has been through hell since Jan. 20 2021, all brought to us by Biden and the Democrats. They are so power hungry that they don’t give a hoot about the country as a whole. If we all go down in flames, they think they will survive and be the ruling class forever. I believe they will be in for a big surprise!
What is a stain is vote fraud, stolen election, illegitimate administration, continuing constitutional crisis.
Bkmk
No.
Stolen elections are a stain on the nation.
Leftist race riots are a stain on the nation.
Official refusal to prosecute leftist race rioters is a stain on the nation.
Protesting stolen elections is America it its finest.
Persecuting protesters and holding protesters without trial or charge for years is a stain on the nation.

Seppuku.

On the Capitol steps.
No cops died that day. Many cops ‘injured’ but official police stats show fewer reported injured than when lefty mobs rioted and burned the church outside Trump’s WH. Multiple MAGA died J6:, one clearly shot by cop, one likely bludgeoned to death by cop, and possibly 2 ‘heart attack death’ were caused by cop concussion grenades. As for the violence on public property that day, a significant chunk of it may have been done by undercover Feds and Antifa pretending to be MAGA. How much ‘violence’ was actually done ‘by’ MAGA that day remains unclear and may prove to have been dwarfed later by by what the Feds did ‘to’ MAGA via their J6 Gulag. Not to mention that the reason for J6 was that the left had just pulled off by far the richest criminal heist in world history. How much was America worth when Biden et al stole the whole blessed country?
Hell started when Obama posted an obvious and “thumb in the eye” FAKE birth certificate.
It hasn’t stopped since then.
This is stunning, and I hope the info can get out. The whole thing was a theatricalized, ideological manipulation and editing of the footage.
But of course Americans, being passive, will probably just shrug and go their way.
