Kevin McCarthy turned over 41,000 hours of security camera recordings to Fox News and only Fox News.

Last I checked that data is property of the US Government; not McCarthy's private property to distribute as he pleases. I would bet that Fox was wooing McCarthy to hand over the recordings, a dirt cheap road to increased viewership for Fox, but a very dirty deed by McCarthy with obvious dangers created for the safety and security of the Capitol. Absolutely treasonous.

The recordings were allegedly given to Fox's most popular liar and conspiracy theorist, America's very own Joseph Goebbels, Tucker Carlson. McCarthy has set up Fox, a major fake news network, to further lie and distort what happened on Jan 6.

The damage to democracy by this act of McCarthy's is unfathomable.

McCarthy belongs in prison.

"Let's review the history and context behind the far right's push for more January 6 footage and then walk through why it is such an unprecedented and egregious move by McCarthy to hand the tapes over to Carlson and Carlson alone."

If there's no repercussions, it was a good move on McCarthy's part.

"If there's no repercussions, it was a good move on McCarthy's part."

Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of people understand that just because you can doesn't mean it a good idea.

It may not be legally actionable, but it's one more reason for RINOs to question the wisdom of voting R.

Carlson may be Fox' most popular liar but an increasing number of folks are realizing he is their worst liar too.

If the Dominion trial goes in favor of the plaintiffs, Fox/Carlson's cred will take another hit.

"Week of Feb. 13 Basic Cable Ranker: Fox News Dominates Cable News Landscape Despite Ratings Decline"

As goes Fox, so goes Carlson.

Fox News shed viewers from the prior week, which is expected the week after a highly-rated SOTU coverage. The network shed -13% in total primetime viewers, -22% in primetime A25-54 viewers, -6% in total day viewers and -7% in total day A25-54 viewers. Fox also trended in the wrong direction on a year-over-year basis ' in total viewers and in the A25-54 category. Compared to the year-ago week (Feb. 14, 2022), the network is -11% in total primetime viewers, -21% in primetime A25-54 viewers, -7% in total day viewers, and -22% in total day A25-54 viewers.
