PBS Documentary Exposes January 6 Committee's Primetime Propaganda Effort
The series, produced with the help of former ABC News president, aimed to influence public opinion ahead of the 2022 midterms.
- A new PBS documentary reveals that the January 6 Committee used the former president of ABC News, James Goldston, to create a series of hearings designed as a miniseries for prime-time television.
- The committee's actions have been criticized as a publicity stunt aimed at influencing the 2022 midterm elections, with some members admitting the hearings were orchestrated for entertainment.
- Critics argue that the committee's one-sided approach and destruction of evidence compromised the fairness of the process and violated legal standards.
- The involvement of James Goldston was intended to organize the committee's collected material into a compelling narrative, despite concerns over his past and the committee's methods.
- Public opinion is divided, with a significant portion of Republicans believing the January 6 protests were misrepresented by Democrats to damage Trump's reputation.
