The seventh Jan 6 select hearing committee was hours ago, why wouldn't a US-focused news site be running stories about it today? It's the hero story for Newsmax, is that because of their "ideology?"
It's all over Fox News too (granted they're also covering 'The View' Hosts React to First Lady Jill Biden's Taco Comments which sounds very important).
- ALittleLight 4y agoWhen I look at Fox's website, whatever commentary one might have about the editorial selection, it is not dominated by January 6th.
- spread_love 4y agoI mentioned that: they're also covering Jill Biden's Taco Comments. Thanks for not even trying to challenge the point about Newsmax!
- ALittleLight 4y agoI wasn't aware your point about Newsmax needed to be challenged. Going to newsmax.com, of their top 20 stories 2 are about January 6th and they both seem to be the same article (that is the headline story and the ~18th are the same story). So - on the one hand, the majority of axios stories are about this and ~5% of newsmax stories are about it. What was I supposed to be challenging again?
- spread_love 4y agoAgreed, Newsmax's cover story is the hearing. Other than that not a blip :) Maybe far-right news sources are covering it because...it's news? Instead of because conspiracy. Fox News notably didn't air the Jan 6 hearings, they cater what they cover to what brings them most views. For Fox News viewers, that isn't the hearings. https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-hearings-fox-news-ratings-c898174e44e9a2e342c87ed084c9f699 https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-hearings-fox-news-ratings-c...
