CBS Is Not ‘Going Rogue’ on January 6 Committee
28th September 2022
The partisans running the House January 6 Committee would like you to believe there’s a controversy over an ex-Republican coming out with his own “unauthorized” January 6 book the day before their last scheduled committee hearing. Would your average cynical reporter buy this “going rogue” story line? Or does it look conveniently designed to put the Pelosi-picked panel back in the headlines?
Liberal media outlets lose all the cynicism when the Democrats are in power. CBS’s 60 Minutes pushed out one of those “bombshell” interviews with Denver Riggleman, the former GOP congressman from Virginia who worked on the committee at Liz Cheney’s urging. CNN and MSNBC were pushing this story in heavy rotation. Their appetite for the January 6 narrative is ravenous.
The 60 Minutes tick-tock was predictably partisan on September 25. A week after Scott Pelley’s soft-soap interview with President Biden, Pelley conducted another soft-soap interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Even there, January 6 came up, as Pelley asked Blinken “Given January 6th, given the fabricated controversy over the election results, do you find that countries around the world are worried about the stability of the United States?”
