Capitol Hill Riot

The cavalcade of leftist media idiocy regarding the one year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Hill riot reached a new low on MSNBC Thursday afternoon as anchors Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell ridiculously wailed that current divisions in the country were worse than during the Civil War. Todd went so far as to utter the historically illiterate nonsense that “Lincoln’s election was more…

The New York Times is making hay during the intense Democratic politicization of the one-year anniversary of the violent Capitol Hill riots of January 6, 2021, which an online headline called “the worst American attack in democracy in centuries.” Times fact-checker Linda Qiu assured readers the Black Lives Matter riots weren’t nearly so violent as the Capitol Hill assault,…

One of the major rules of politics is don’t compare anything to the Holocaust because you look like a fool. And that’s exactly what MSNBC’s far-left “historian” Douglas Brinkley did during Thursday’s January 6 festivities on Craig Melvin Reports. And not only did he compare the riot at the Capitol to the systematic killing of 6 million Jews, but he also declared America in a “neo-…

During NBC News special coverage of President Biden’s divisive speech using the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol Hill riot to attack Republicans, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd absurdly claimed the screed was not partisan “if you’re pro-democracy and pro-America.” He also predictably hailed the address as Biden at his “best.”

On Thursday, it was the liberal media’s Super Bowl and on the first anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack and riot at the U.S. Capitol as, according to a NewsBusters analysis of the major broadcast network morning newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC’s Today spent roughly 90 minutes dissecting, obsessing over, and painting the 75 million-…

On the one year anniversary of the violent January 6, 2021 attack on Congress, CBS Mornings hosts spewed Democratic talking points as they attempted to pretend that only one party has election deniers. The network that cheered election denier Stacey Abrams, the show that regularly trashes conservatives, now wants to know why Americans don’t trust the press.

After obsessing over the January 6 Capitol riot for the past year, the media are now using its one-year anniversary to advocate for unprecedented, sweeping election reforms. Democrats would have been foolish not to make political hay out of the January 6 anniversary, and so they've decided to wield it as a justification for federalizing America's elections. Naturally, their friends in the…

At 2 pm on Wednesday, CNN's "Citizen" project live-streamed a panel discussion with four of its journalists on the top "Lessons of the Insurrection: Where Are We Now?" Dana Bash read a question from a viewer about how to protect democracy, and reporter Alex Marquardt touted that "one of the many benefits" of the 1/6 committee was how they exposed Fox News as Trump collaborators.

NewsBusters rings in 2022 with Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro filling in for Tim Graham and discussing the media New Year resolution to make every day, this midterm year, about January 6 in an attempt to swing the election for Democrats. I’m also joined by research director Scott Whitlock to talk about the media’s refusal to better themselves as they stoke hatred against the right.

NPR's Morning Edition on Wednesday delighted in a supposedly nonpartisan group that they called the "Sedition Hunters," who have helped scoured videos to help identify suspects in the January 6 riot. NPR turned to reporter Odette Yousef, whose alleged beat is "extremism," but it's all about right-wing extremism, because this is NPR. 

In an effort to push the Democratic Party agenda on the federal takeover of elections and hype an anti-Republican campaign narrative ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, leftist media outlets have planned an avalanche of special coverage commemorating the one year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Hill riot. On Wednesday, network hosts eagerly announced plans to anchor live from…

Tuesday's episode of Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show offered a triple-header of obtuse liberal hypocrisy.  Yamiche Alcindor accused Fox News of being a "fringe wing of the GOP," ignoring the fact that she and her MSM cohorts are a key wing of the DNC. Katie Benner of the New York Times said there is "no reason" for Sean Hannity not to testify before the January 6th committee.

On Tuesday, Hot Air’s John Sexton reported: “Everywhere you look, Democrats are warning about the threat to democracy currently posed by Trump or the GOP or some combination of the two.” After citing an absurd New York Times editorial claiming “Every day is Jan. 6 now,” Sexton pushed back: “You’ll get no argument from me that the riots were anything but bad news, but every day is not January 6…

On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” He argued anyone who thinks this story is overdone is someone "best explained by psychologists or therapists or algorithm developers."
