I mean I hesitate to ever say
What year was the worst year ever this year was the worst day ever
But this has got to be in terms of
Television news coverage
I don't know what else had so many things going on at the same time
And it isn't over yet
Not to mention the fact that the very people
Bringing us
Best news coverage
Orange backed in in grave Danger
I think we really need to say
As we say to
The people in the military as we say
Teachers
We need to say
Thank you for your service to people who are covering these events equipment being
Best around the people being assaulted threatened all of that kind of thinks this was a
Dangerous
Zone
Or a journalist to be cut be covering but it was important for us to see it
The moving images were
Critically important to understand not just the special
What was going on
But to understand the rapid nature of how it was unfolding
And so
The television served us
I see quite well
In
And what I saw the coverage
Was pretty impressive in pretty accurate
As they morphed through their language
Protesters in demonstrators to mob and rioters
I am insurrectionists an anarchist
Sans
149 and heard the word terrorist
So
As
The actions went on
The language more kallang
And became more more judgemental
By the way
Well this isn't the sort of moment where you have to have
Stan like you are
Unbiased
Does if there are equal sides like
Well if we're going to criticize these people who have just an inhabited the United States Capitol maybe we are
I want to hear someone who's
And so this whole notion of false equivalency canned Iowa
In an in a moment
And I and I think that's important for us to record
Is that our job isn't
Always to be unbiased
Has to be accurate
Intrude
I am I in Fair
But
Ernest doesn't mean that
That the people who are inhabiting the
Can I put oil in chasing senators and congressmen out of the chamber
Have some right to express their grievances
While they're doing
Where are we going
And CNN talked about this all the time which is
It's some point
One can't just do
Oh and here's this side and here's the other side as though there are there's another side to
Arguments and I think sometimes that more
Aggressive way of describing these things
Is there more truthful way
Describing it
Yes sir one might be crossing the line of what used to be considered
Family
In covering certain
Stories
There was nothing seemly about what those
And I think to at least bring up words like sedition and
Trader and all that kind of thing during that coverage was worth bringing
Bringing up
The very fact that they kept their cameras on
Pointed in the right direction
You know his is something I certainly wouldn't have done that enough
Those kinds of us are
They brought my camera and run in the the other direction
I think what was happening
Cupboard and I think from what I saw and I was bouncing around
From various sources on the cable news
Network
But
There was a sense of having to make decisions of
Yo are we keeping here on the floor where they're debating Arizona you know what
Electoral votes
Or are we going to go to
Trump's speech at the rally and then of course when the actual
Violence
In the attack on Congress
Broke out
Of course went to that and we were in the battlefield
So I think
Yes I think journalism is done a pretty good job
Covering this under some pretty
Extraordinary
And they absolutely are in danger
I am you wouldn't expect that when you go to the capital to cover the Electoral College vote
But you're going to end today wearing riot gear
