Direct Headline: Jan. 6 committee faces a thorny challenge: Persuading the public to care
The House Jan. 6 committee has tried to recruit high-profile journalists to write its report about the attack on the Capitol, hoping to build a narrative thriller that compels audiences and is a departure from government reports of yore....Committee members and staffers are seeking to compile dramatic videos, texts and emails in a digital format that is easy....to share on social media. And they want to put together blockbuster televised hearings that the public actually tunes into....
Their challenge: Making the public care deeply — and read hundreds of pages more — about an event that happened more than a year ago, and that many Americans feel they already understand.... with the findings likely a key part of the Democrats midterm strategy. ...Democrats are widely expected to have a tough time in the upcoming midterm elections, with even some Democrats privately fearing a bloodbath....
.....Committee staffers have interviewed writers to assist with the herculean task of quickly turning around hundreds of thousands of pages of depositions, records and other evidence into an accessible narrative....But the committee’s leaders are keenly aware of the difficulty in breaking through to hard-to-reach audiences....The committee has discussed the potential for criminal referrals should it produce enough evidence to support those findings. But unlike the Mueller report, the Jan. 6 committee’s narrative work will not be bound... to decipher what acts of criminal liability it could prosecute — giving them more room to produce compelling reading....“The Justice Department might decide that Trump is not criminally liable for his actions but that the committee is able to provide at least a high standard of proof that Trump was morally liable ....”
.....Committee member Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) “was most interested in that: how do we make the report tell a story? How do you take the different pieces of the story that are produced by a very large group of people and make it sing? And I think that’s very much what they would like to do.....”.....“There’s one-third of the nation that will read it, one-third that might read it, and one-third that won’t even believe it...”.....The lawmaker added that even some of their Democratic constituents have lost interest in the committee’s work because of more pressing issues, like inflation and the coronavirus pandemic....“Investigators need a certain sense of showmanship — they really need to demonstrate and dramatize what’s happening because the public is distracted...”

Direct Headline: “People Must Pay Attention. People Must Watch”: The Jan. 6 Committee Is Trying to Make the Most of Its Prime-Time TV Slot
...Veteran network executive James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, “has joined the committee as an unannounced adviser,” Axios reported Monday. The committee tapped Goldston, whose storytelling expertise breathed life into programs such as Nightline, to shape the cache of material that the committee has amassed over the past year....Some committee members have also taken it upon themselves to generate hype for Thursday’s 8 p.m. hearing, including Rep. Liz Cheney. The vice chair of the committee... said.... “And so, people must pay attention. People must watch....” Asked by CBS News’ Robert Costa whether she is “confident that what you have found as a committee will somehow grab the American people by the lapels and say, 'Wake up: You have to pay attention’?” Cheney replied, “I am.” .....
....Among the broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC are planning to carry Thursday night’s hearing live, with David Muir, Norah O'Donnell, and Lester Holt anchoring, respectively. Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper will anchor CNN's special coverage, beginning at 7 p.m; Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid will also begin anchoring at 7 p.m. over at MSNBC....
"Most Americans don't like what happened on January 6, but rate it pretty low on their importance list when compared to inflation, cost of gas and the border,” Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican who represents a Biden-won district, told CNN....Two Republicans who got nixed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from serving on the select committee are expected to play key roles in blunting the panel's message: Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio....

“The pain of looking bad is worse than the gain of making the best move.” - Michael Lewis, Moneyball
“You guys are sitting around talking the same old good body nonsense like we’re selling jeans. Like we’re looking for Fabio. We’ve got to think differently.” - From Aaron Sorkin's first draft of Moneyball
The J6 Committee wants you to be excited:
"People must pay attention! People must watch!"
"Compelling thriller narrative!"
"Blockbuster television!"
"How do you make the different pieces sing!"
"Needs a certain sense of showmanship!"
"Let's dramatize what's happening!"
"Taken it upon themselves to generate hype!"
"Grab Americans by the lapels!"
"A captivating multi media presentation to produce a blockbuster!"
"Make the most of it's PRIME TIME TV SLOT!"
The current J6 hearings are mindless ineffective partisan political theater by Team Blue. They are desperate to save themselves from an all out massacre for the coming Mid Terms and the 2024 general cycle because they are embroiled in failures and scandals non stop such as the Border Crisis, Afghanistan, Baby Formula, inflation, gasoline prices skyrocketing, Energy Crisis, COVID19 response, push back against "Culture Wars", angry parents about claims of children being indoctrinated and sexualized, eroding America's national security and foreign interests, rising housing costs, the homeless crisis, the rioting and looting in 2020/2021, Defund The Police, growing justified fears of Biden's cognitive capability, "bail reform" and public policy in Big Blue Cities that enable criminals and lawlessness, seen as complicit in enabling threats against SCOTUS, and on and on and on.
Do most Americans care more about a three-hour riot more than 18 months ago amid a year filled with nationwide rioting, looting and burning?
Do most Americans care when they are facing real life day to day struggles like the cost of food on the table for their children, paying rent and putting gasoline in their cars so they can go to work?
Do most Americans care when Team Blue spent years and years, at the cost of countless millions of your tax dollars, promising that they finally had the magic elixir to get rid of Donald Trump and end his political career for good, but again and again, they just failed miserably?
Do most Americans care when it's becoming more and more clear that Team Blue won't be able to convict Trump and put him in prison over J6? ( Both Trump and Schumer's "speech" alike, while unethical and repugnant, are protected by the Brandenburg Test. And no one can get Trump on obstruction because it's close to impossible to prove "specific intent" without some kind of smoking gun that the Committee clearly does not have, otherwise they would have used it already)
Will most Americans trust the words of Team Blue here, when they hired a long time TV producer to try to spin a J6 "thriller", whom also happens to be the same guy that buried the Jeffrey Epstein story from becoming widespread news that would dominate the national daily media cycle? He'll cover for a pedophile to protect other "brand name" celebrities and politicians, but now he's magically going to start pushing the truth?
Will most Americans trust the words of Team Blue here when Nancy Pelosi only allowed Republicans who were complicit "bought and paid for by corporate political pork" RINOs on board and the Committee carries Jamie Raskin, who literally came out in public right after the 2016 election to lead the charge to challenge the electors when Trump won?
Let's just play out this song and dance for it's true purpose - A final report that will be published ahead of the November Mid Terms and findings will be used as a desperate attempt to convince the American people that they should keep voting for the Party in power that inflicted massive inflation upon them. And while gaslighting the public by telling them their concerns only mean they are "distracted" from the oh so important J6 narrative.
Ben Shapiro makes a good point. If you have that "smoking gun" then hit fast, hit hard and release it first and foremost. Because people are tired of hearing about how Team Blue has finally got Donald Trump and this time they'll put him in prison. When it's clear they can't and they won't even admit in public that Trump committed any formal crime. Being a 4th rate failed reality TV star and unhinged narcissist that behaves in a toxic manner that's often wildly unethical and irresponsible isn't a crime. Some of you radical leftists here want it to be, but being an exhausting trolling total d0ucheb@g is not an actual crime.
Saagar Enjeti makes several good points. People have moved on and are focused on their needs to survive today. And that why aren't there hearings on Afghanistan and how that devastated America's national security. Also why aren't there hearings with Big Oil? Or with the food industry? ( Of course there won't be, because it lends too many potential negatives for the Military Industrial Complex and the corporate donor overlords that Team Blue must "bend the knee to" in absolute terms)
And Enjeti points out what I've been pointing out non stop - If you want real change, if the Democratic Party wants certain laws, policies and judicial outcomes, then deliver wins for the working class American people, make their lives better and just win a crap ton of elections because then the masses will actually want to come out and vote for you.
What political theater like these hearings are doing is to try to convince working class Americans and the masses that despite a failure to deliver wins for every day common people, that you should just blindly keep voting for the establishment in current power that keeps screwing you over as if some "messaging" spin built on failed hype is going to put food on the table for America's children.
Is Team Blue trying to sell jeans here?
Are they looking for Fabio?
These elected officials, barely hiding their activist grifter greed, on the J6 Committee are paid with YOUR TAX DOLLARS. They are supposed to be working for ALL OF YOU. Does anyone here believe that they really approach professional politics that way?
They want to convince you that you don't just need two and half more years of this disaster of an administration, but that you need another four more years of chaos on top of that. Because they see you as a child that's easy to manipulated and that you just don't know any better and they are here to guide you like sheep to the slaughter.
I do not agree with what Trump did on J6. It was not in keeping with what was best for America overall. But the response can't be worse than the disease itself. The response like the J6 Committee is turning politics into some kind of bizarre team sport, but the stakes instead will be if your children will starve or not.
Team Blue is begging Americans to watch. And ratings show most aren't giving a damn at all. They are tired of it. Because it's exhausting to watch this sad pathetic display where Trump's stupidity was met head on with a totally repugnant charade that makes it clear all freedom before us is going to be incinerated for sport.
I'll leave this here for others to discuss.
