Well…if there was any question that the media is failing us as we try to save our democracy, you just have to look at the NYT that is buying into the repub talking point that the only reason for the January 6th committee is for the dems to use it as a “cudgel” to attack the repubs before the 2022 elections. Not to bring the people who tried to overthrow the election to justice for the crimes they did…nope, it’s just to use it as an attack on repubs…and this is just so much bullshit that they should be ashamed of themselves…and why not attack the people who tried to kill this country and allow a criminal to stay in power? So, to use their logic, the  Watergate committee was just there to attack Nixon and not to uncover the crimes that he and his cronies committed….and the propaganda arm of the repub party, fox news, is not even going to carry the hearings that start Thurs night but will present their regular lineup of liars to continue to make sure that their viewers don’t see the truth of the breadth of the corruption that is the modern repub party….and this fits the pattern from the day of January 6th, when the repubs all downplayed the seriousness of the attack and wanted to just sweep it under the rug so they can use the same tactics in every other election…and they are still rigging them across this country as they install far right Secretaries of state who will make sure that only the repubs can ever win another election…this is going on now folks and unless we get out to vote this fall, there won’t ever be another fair election in this country…and that is just the fact….and it won’t be reported by the media at all….geez…
