NYT: Jan 6 Hearings Give Dems Chance to Recast Midterm Msg

The propagandist New York Times admitted on Tuesday that the Democrats’ upcoming January 6 Committee hearings are an attempt to “recast” the party’s failing midterm election message against Republicans in order to help Democrats “stay in power.”

“It is an uphill battle at a time when polls show that voters’ attention is focused elsewhere, including on inflation, rising coronavirus cases and record-high gas prices,” the Times wrote. “But Democrats argue the hearings will give them a platform for making a broader case about why they deserve to stay in power.”

The hearings must remind voters of Trump’s alleged effort to “overturn the election” with a “mob” of supporters who “stormed the Capitol with false claims of a stolen election,” the Times continued.

But an NBC News poll shows only 45 percent of Americans find Donald Trump responsible for the January 6 protest, a decline of 7 points since January 2021. Additional polling reveals that 58 percent believe, correctly, that the committee is biased toward Democrats.

The Times article also stressed the need for Democrats during the hearing to play on voters’ emotions with a “carefully choreographed rollout of revelations”:

With their control of Congress hanging in the balance, Democrats plan to use made-for-television moments and a carefully choreographed rollout of revelations over the course of six hearings to remind the public of the magnitude of Mr. Trump’s effort to overturn the election, and to persuade voters that the coming midterm elections are a chance to hold Republicans accountable for it.

The media aren’t even bothering anymore to hide their collusion with the illegitimate Biden administration to demonize Trump and his supporters as domestic terrorists.

Op-Ed Praising the COVID-19 Pandemic As a Crisis That Had “Made the Radical Possible”:

In March 2021 — just hours after Congress had passed the $1.9 trillion “COVID relief” bill — The New York Times published an op-ed by Rachel Cohen which stated that while the coronavirus pandemic was a “nightmare,” it was something to be celebrated because it had “made the radical possible”:

“Last spring, as a poorly understood virus swept the planet­, something remarkable happened: Across the country, all levels of government put in place policies that just a few months earlier would have been seen by most people — not to mention most politicians — as radical and politically naïve. Nearly 70 percent of states ordered bans on utility shut-offs, and more than half did so for evictions. Mayors authorized car-free streets to make cities safer for pedestrians, and the federal government nearly tripled the average unemployment benefit. Within weeks, states eliminated extortionist medical co-pays for prisoners and scrapped bail. New Jersey passed a bill that released more than 2,200 incarcerated people all at once.… It is essential we get the word out on what has been accomplished as a result of this crisis and what our government still can do, and to remember what grass-roots activists understand deeply: Whether anything happens at all is largely up to us.”
