The audition begins on Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern time. In addition to thorough cable coverage, the three major broadcast networks – ABC, NBC and CBS – plan to anticipate regular programs for special listening reports. TV news representatives confirmed that all stations are expected to carry the special offers. PBS is also offering live coverage. The CNN special report begins at 9 a.m. ET. MSNBC promotes a full coverage breakfast. The X-factor in the cable is Fox – and it’s going to show the audition: As LA Times reporter Stephen Battaglio noted here, “Fox News plans to cover auditions on its main channel when they resume on Monday.” Fox’s argument seems to be that prime time is different from day: Prime is for public opinion presenters like Tucker Carlson, who declined to be heard last Thursday, but the day is for news. This plan means that Fox intends to give a living testimony from one of its former employees, Chris Stirewalt, who was Fox’s political director during the 2020 election. defend the call of the decision office in Arizona. He was then fired. Stirewalt has given many interviews and has been featured on the groundbreaking NewsNation channel, but he has always been somewhat wary of the peculiarities of those dangerous days and weeks at Fox. It will therefore be fascinating to see how his testimony fits into the narrative of the parliamentary committee. He will be first on Monday, along with a surprise announced on Sunday: Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign director, Bill Stepien. Mating makes sense – both men know firsthand how Trump’s lies permeated the Republican universe in the winter of 2020. Remember, this is how Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney preceded Monday’s hearing: “You’ll see that Donald and his advisers knew he had actually lost the election, but President Trump made a huge effort to spread false and misleading information – to convince a large portion of the U.S. elections by him. it is not true … “
What to expect
According to CNN’s Annie Grayer and Zachary Cohen, Monday’s hearing “will be split into two groups of witnesses, with multimedia presentations and video recordings of testimonies scattered throughout.” A senior aide to the commission told reporters that the hearing would focus on Trump’s “I won the election” allegations and his decision to spread the word to millions of supporters. The audition will last a little over two hours … Democrat Adam Siff wrote on Twitter on Sunday night: “Our first hearing was just a sample of the evidence we have gathered. Tomorrow, we will tell the story of how Trump knowingly spread his Big Lie. “Then he used this lie to pressure. The legislators, the Vice President and, finally, they are calling for the mob. The public deserves to know.” On Sunday, he hit the prime time hearing by telling Maria Bartiromo that “a typical serious congressional hearing happens during the day, usually starting at 10 a.m.” Well, that’s the plan …
What Murdoch’s newspapers write
This happens from time to time, but it is still remarkable: the versions controlled by Rupert Murdoch adopt a tougher line against Trump than the television owned by Murdoch. The most read Opinion article in the Wall Street Journal this weekend was Friday’s article that concluded: “Trump betrayed his supporters by killing them on Jan. 6 and continues to do so.” The New York Post editorial board had a slightly different tone, but urged readers to “delete from Trump’s daily emails begging for money” and “pick your favorite from a new collection of conservatives.” Go through Trump, the authors wrote, and “Let’s make America healthy again.” “The wing mechanism of the media was designed for one purpose, to elect the Republicans to the position”. Therefore, “this is not an ethical statement from Rupert Murdoch’s papers,” he said, “it is a practical statement to elect a new crop of Republican leaders.” Pfeiffer spoke of the 1/6 scan of the story, saying “January 6 is an abbreviation for what is happening right now. You have a Republican candidate for governor of Michigan who was arrested at his home for taking part in the uprising,” he said. “You have a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania who is [running] on the Pennsylvania polling platform to Donald Trump, no matter what voters say. This is a clear and present danger “, therefore the hearings” focus the mind on what is coming, not only on what happened … “
