January 6 Hearings Media Advisor
The riveting testimony at the Jan. 6 Committee remind me of the Watergate hearings fifty years ago. I guess the Democrats and their Republican friends have decided that this is the best way to turn the Trump administration's antics against a Republican Party that has been hijacked by disaffected right-wing politicians.
The Jan 6 Committee even hired a top retired
broadcast executive to help them shape the hearings to appeal to TV
audiences. Unfortunately, James Goldston, formerly of ABC news, doesn't
appear to have been the right guy; ABC News isn't as popular as the
other networks, and the audience ratings for the Jan 6 hearings have been
lackluster. Perhaps the Committee ought to hire someone like Roger Ailes
or another former Fox News executive for advice on how to stage the rest of the
broadcasts, While the hearings may have some effect on AG Garland, they must
compel enough viewers to win the 2022 and 2024 elections for the
Democrats. Otherwise, the Committee will just disappear.
