[I’d prefer a wider release to all media outlets. It’s too much to expect any one outlet to take a disinterested approach into the excerpting that will have to get done to air this in any impartial manner. Every outlet, including Carlson’s, will have to edit it into a short and cohesive format that will express a narrative of what took place. Had the original J6 committee been properly appointed and run as a traditional select committee, we’d already have a two-sides look at what happened that day. Perhaps McCarthy intends to do that … and maybe he is already working on it, but other media outlets are less interested in approaching the J6 committee’s preferred narrative with any skepticism. — Ed]
