To those of us who depend on mainstream and legacy media for information last night's public hearing by the January 6 Committee seemed a little like a rerun. Aside from a slickly produced video showing the insurrection occurring in chronological order with some never before shown snippets of extreme violence, the committee and especially Liz Cheney laid out the case against tRump and his henchman for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The Committee's members have said they will prove their case against the failed former president. Rupert Murdoch and Faux News must believe Bennie Thompson et al have the goods. The network aired Tucker Carlson's nine o'clock show without commercials as if they were afraid their viewers might switch to the other major networks who were covering the hearings.
Of course these hearings are all about convincing the tiny sliver of voters who have not yet made up their minds regarding tRump's guilt. For the rest of us, these hearings will confirm what we already believe.
