That's about as political as I'm going to get, especially since political discussion is very heavily discouraged here.(09-06-2022, 06:48 PM)Inspector Sands Wrote: And if recent reports are to be believed, there's something similar being arranged for the mid-terms in November - not the actual events at the Capitol, but the contesting of the results
While trying not to get too political on here, it does feel like we're in the situation where the precedent's been set- don't like the result of an election, cry fraud and try to get it overturned. Feels like the US is in a race to save its democracy right now.
Meanwhile, on the current subject of the coverage of the January 6th Committee Hearings being broadcast in primetime on three of the main US TV networks dropping their primetime programming for this, plus the left-leaning news channels CNN and MSNBC, some would say it's maybe overkill, and Fox News maybe providing an alternative, but for those of us on forums like this, it's presentation overload!
There are various sources online where it's possible to watch US broadcast feeds of both CNN and MSNBC, but they are "unofficial" sources so obviously I won't link to any of them here.
