Did Tucker Hit a Nerve? Axios Wants to Move On From January 6

"The Democrats’ January 6 Select Committee was a study in propaganda, a one-sided hanging jury that jealously guarded its control over footage of the Capitol Riot and only released what it cherry-picked for the public to see. The committee did this to the extent it even withheld exculpatory video from the poor bastards in its crosshairs who now languish in federal cells, having been denied their right to due process.

"Once Republicans were barely able to wrest control of the U.S. House from the Democrats’ ballot sow-n-reap operation, the new House speaker favored transparency and granted Fox News’s Tucker Carlson access to the full range of video that had previously only been wielded by the Establishment-Left kangaroo court.

"Carlson went right to work, highlighting previously hidden footage that revealed the partisans on the J6 committee to be manipulative, lying propagandists. But he had only aired the first night of his exposé when Big Left began to squeal like a stuck pig.

"Methinks Tucker hit a nerve.

"My favorite part was Don Lemon lamenting the unfairness of the footage being given only to Fox News and not all of the Leftist outlets at the same time. Unfair? Um, excuse me… Your pals on the J6 Select Committee locked that footage down for two years and hired a professional producer to make it into an anti-Trump primetime miniseries. You gave their show trial wall-to-wall coverage on your networks. People are sitting in prison because their defense teams weren’t allowed access to it. And now one single news show — not even an entire network — is allowed to explore another side to the events, and you’re upset?". . .
