I do not need an admitted liar like Carlson to falsely characterize it for me.

What's puzzling is that you frequently rail against taking things out of context. Carlson's show from last night might well represent the absolute epitome of this practice. He extracted a few select snippets from 44,000 hours of footage of the Capitol riots to support his concocted story about how peaceful and respectful the MAGAMorons were that day. Even though you claim not to have watched it, the message sure seems to have resonated with you.
As I said in my post, I didn't watch the show, but the video elements are available online. It's not even hard to find them. And it figures coming from the left that asking questions is evidence of bad faith.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth - as usual - with your post above. You complain that Fox only aired "snippets" of January 6th video, yet the fact that we've seen the same short video segments from Jan 6th on national news played over and over again for 2 years doesn't seem to register with you.

You claim that these segments somehow "resonated with me", yet you've not watched any of it and feel comfortable categorically claiming that the video supports a "concocted" story....I guess because that's how some other media outlet characterized it for you?

Among other things that are funny, you've chided me for citing a CBS news story in a prior post, but there you go citing CBS News in post 13 in this thread. That's hilarious.

Nothing particularly "resonated" with me from the video segments I've watched. Some of the questions in my prior post - the questions you don't like - I've actually posted about before. I'm sorry asking legitimate questions bugs you. You must have hated the Socratic method of learning.
