How January 6 would be covered if we had a neutral press
SHARYL ATTKISSON ^ | DATED: JANUARY 7, 2022 | BY SHARYL ATTKISSON

Posted on 01/08/2022 9:22:44 AM PST by Hojczyk

Mostly Peaceful

The rioting that happened on the Capitol grounds was conducted by a relative minority of the throngs of peaceful protesters present that day, and the violent attackers included not just right-wing Trump supporters, but also some left wing activists who joined the crowd, and an undetermined number of undercover federal officers. The media has generally treated the entire "date," and everyone who attended the Trump event in Washington D.C., as if it were some sort of criminal conspiracy from beginning to end.

If we had a generally neutral media, the media would be careful not to lump the mostly-peaceful rally attendees and the peaceful protesters in with the violence that happened at the end of the event on the Capitol grounds. The press, if neutral, would also demand to know the extent to which the FBI or other federal officers were planted as undercover agents in the crowd, and what role they played. It would not be the first time that federal agents or their operatives took a controversial part in an event as part of an undercover mission; it's a legitimate question to ask. It's especially relevant since it's been proven that Dept. of Justice and FBI officials conspired against Trump for years, from the time he was a candidate, including an FBI attorney doctoring documents in order to secretly spy on a Trump associate.

Not usually mentioned (though it should be) is that Americans also have the right to enter the Capitol building and watch Congressional proceedings from the gallery. The attendees who were invited into the building by Capitol police had no right to be violent, but they arguably had a legitimate right to enter the building to watch the proceedings.

I recommend that everyone do their own search for “Jan 6 capitol damage” and then search again for “Summer 2020 riot damage” and just look at the photos for yourselves to compare. Just look!

You’ll see just how little damage was done to the capitol building and how much real damage was done by BLM/Antifa riots.

I saw a photo of Biden at yesterday’s “celebration” standing in the capitol in front of a bunch of statues. Now, look again at the photos from Jan.6. Not a single statue was damaged and not a single painting was pulled off the wall and burned.

Plus, see Tagline.

'How “free” is our press today when it rigidly follows the Democrat party line, and allows for no opposing views?'

Just look a former paper names or some current ones. They were basically party named papers. A business isn't a democracy. One would hope a business is allowed to only put out what they want. Just look at FR, a business. There is control of various things, and this isn't a 'press' publisher.

The devil’s greatest lie is that he doesn’t exist. The press’s is that they are objective.

You’re right about that. But here’s the thing. The Republican-leaning news sources have pretty much faded away. The Democrat-leaning news sources now predominate. On the national level, there is no longer the balance the country needs.

I suppose the Vietnam war had a lot to do with that. Vietnam shoved a lot of news folks to the left, and it’s pretty much stayed that way. I wish I had a solution to that, but I don’t.

The real problem is that the left and all of their running dog paper tigers have no popularity and a big megaphone.

The left and all of their paper tiger running dogs know about President Trumps internals, because in the three rallies held in Florida, all of them were pay for admission, he and Bill O'Reilly condicted hstory ,not covered by the news media, each and every rally had between 30 and 40 thousand paying attendees. Many of them were blue dog democrats too. The projections say that Trump now has 70% support among registered voters NATION WIDE .

This is what is panicking the left and their megaphoned paper tiger running dogs. They are preaching January 6th, where the only person WHO WAS KILLED BY EXECUTION AND MURDER was Ashli Babbit,excessive force. All others died of either heart attacks or of some personal health issue later. The great hero of the day supposedly, a Washington Police officer does not have a specific cause of death listed on his certificate of death. The FBI write a report concluding there was NO ORGANIZED EFFORT of insurrection. The FACTS are against the dems one sided Jan 6th Propaganda Commission. Then there is issue of Epps and others involvement in creating a false flag event. And the pre event crowd control readiness memo email between Pelosi and the Capitol police is still missing? BUahahahahahahahahahahaha!

The People in their vast majority know all of thhis, and Republicans are poised to sweep both State and Federal districts all across the country Nov. 3rd this year. Joe's fake peresidency is now sinking faster than the Titanic and cannot be stopped.Even lefty rats on Harris's staff are deserting the ship.

So when I hear the panicked caterwaulinbg of the left and their megaphoned paper tiger running dogs, I remind you dear reader, that now is the time to ridicule the hell out of all of these paper tiger running dogs and every lefty politician you can target.

These paper Tigers scream internationally, " America is losing its Democracy!" ( You should here this crap on Cnada;s CBC News, it would make any patriot puke!), while trying to make illegal ballot harvesting possible in all states in order to " Repeat the Cheat." Its the opnly way they can "win/" They do not seem to understand that winning illegal means a lame duck presideny, a lame duck Congress and a lame duck Washington DC. Period. Thats why we have this debacle now, the sinking Dem Party!!

The Dem party is trying yet again to impeach president Trump and he is NOT EVEN IN OFFICE!

Lay it out hard and heavy.Satirize and ridicule the megaphoned paper tigers at every point,at every opportunity.

And as for President Trump...remember.......

I noted the other day that back in 2004 Eminem put out a video showing people storming the Capitol causing VP Dick Cheney to have a heart attack.

I wonder what Lizzie thinks about that?
