ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN and MSNBC were among the networks that carried two full hours of the hearing — an event they largely let unfurl on its own, with few interruptions or enhancements, waiting until the end for their anchors and guests to offer solemn commentary.
Fox News, though, stuck to its regular block of conservative opinion shows — frequently showing a live glimpse of the proceedings on Capitol Hill but pointedly omitting the accompanying audio, while its hosts and guests criticized the committee floridly.“The dullest, the most boring, there’s absolutely nothing new, multi-hour Democratic fundraiser masquerading as a Jan. 6 hearing,” Fox host Sean Hannity declared.
The careful tracking of the hearings extended to the occasional bursts of vulgarity revealed in testimony and documents “Thanks to your bulls---, we are now under siege,” Cheney read aloud, unbleeped, in an email written on Jan. 6 from a counsel to Vice President Mike Pence to a legal adviser for President Donald Trump.
