PBS Documentary: January 6 Committee Was Created as Propaganda ‘Miniseries’

Joel B. Pollak 1 Feb 2024

A PBS documentary released this week shows that the January 6 Committee used James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, to create a “miniseries” whose primary purpose was to create primetime propaganda that would reach the American public.

The committee was derided by critics as a “show trial” because then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected the nominees of the minority party, for the first time in American history, and appointed anti-Trump Republicans in their place.

Every single member of the committee opposed Donald Trump, and testimony was initially held behind closed doors, meaning witnesses were denied due process, since the other side of the argument was never represented, nor contrary evidence brought.

As Breitbart News reported at the time, the committee brought in Goldston as a consultant, despite his controversial history as the network’s leader at a time when ABC was said to have buried the story of the late billionaire sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Goldston’s work for the committee was immediately apparent in the first publicly televised hearings, as committee members read their remarks from a TelePrompter.

Witnesses were carefully selected to offer damning testimony — whether it was true or not.

In a remarkable PBS documentary, the January 6th committee admits the entire thing was a publicity stunt / fabricated TV production meant to manipulate the audience. Which is why they brought in the former president of ABC News [James Goldston].

President Trumps letter to the J6 Committee regarding his REQUEST FOR NATIONAL GUARD on J6, but was turned down.

Liar Liz Cheney claims this didn’t occur!

Well, they were trying to emulate the Watergate and Iran-Contra Hearings that fixated the public's interest in 1973-74 and 1986-1987, but it backfired spectacularly on them because it was so overtly partisan and staged.

BREAKING: Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, says he may make referrals for criminal obstruction or House ethics violations for former lawmakers and staff on the now-defunct Democrat-run Jan. 6 committee because he is frustrated that videotapes of interviews, transcripts, and other evidence that Congress gathered under the prior Jan. 6 inquiry were allegedly deleted, destroyed, moved to other federal agencies, or locked behind passwords that have not been recovered, and he believes some form of accountability is warranted.
