The ADL has very strong opinions about a documentary that has not yet aired and that they have not yet seen. It's legitimate to comment on *the discourse* that emerges from others who have seen something you haven't, but condemning a program that hasn't aired is madness.
The reason this Fox program on 1/6 is provoking such fury -- aside from the fact that 1/6 has taken on quasi-religious significance for liberals and is the basis for their second War on Terror -- is questions about what the FBI knew in advance and what its role was are taboo.
It's an established fact that the FBI engineered right-wing groups to join a plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer. It's an established fact that the FBI had at least two informants at the Capitol (NYT). It's established fact that FBI had its hooks in the 3 key groups associated with 1/6.
The only legitimate response to employees of media corporations and activists groups like the ADL when they try to place off-limits questions about the FBI's role in 1/6 is to tell them to go fuck themselves, and then proceed with the journalism.

Many employees of liberal corporate outlets genuinely don't know about all the evidence that has been amassed on the FBI role in 1/6 because it's been confined to conservative journalists & they only talk to one another, so they don't know. Except this:

The US political landscape, 2021:
That the FBI was purposely planting informants and infiltrators into groups of vulnerable young Muslims to manipulate them into FBI's terror plots -- to give FBI more power and scare people -- was widely reported in liberal-left media. Now it's taboo:

CNN's primary marketing claim is it is devoted to combating disinformation and lies.

Yesterday, @ProjectLincoln perpetrated a racist fraud on, one that caused Fake News and lies to spread all over social media.

CNN did not wait even one day to put the LP scumbags back on air.
Note that CNN and @ChrisCuomo did not put the LP's @stuartpstevens on air as a fraudsters who had been caught orchestrating a smear. Cuomo asked one light question -- won't this hurt Dems? (his only concern) -- but Stevens was there as a CNN pundit, to comment on the VA race.
CNN specializes in putting known liars on the air: not to grill them but to deliver the news. After James Clapper got caught lying to the Senate about the NSA, CNN *hired* him. *The same day* the Lincoln Project caused a racist lie to spread, CNN welcomed them onto a panel.

Terry McAuliffe campaign’s social media manager pushing this racist fraud, with the tweet still up:
McAuliffe's social media manager deleted the tweet pushing the racist fraud by the Lincoln Project soon as I noted he had promoted it and left it up all day. Here's the deleted tweet, along with a great timeline showing how coordinated this fraud was.

Do you see how casually Democratic operatives play with racism and race accusations, like it's their little private toy they bought and get to use however they want?

That's all it is to them - zero authentic convictions behind it - and it's trivializing the whole issue:

Dem Party operatives and MSNBC "analysts" spent the day spreading a photo that was dubious from the start - staged to make it appear neo-Nazis were supporting Glenn Youngkin - and now it turns out that, yet again, they spread disinformation. Over and over: the same people do this
The people who most vocally claim to be worried about disinformation and Fake News -- to the point that they want to censor the internet in its name -- are, by far, the most aggressive and prolific disseminators of disinformation and Fake News. Always. Dems & corporate outlets.
Whoever staged that little fake white nationalist group in front of Glenn Youngkin's bus are not just fraudsters but scum. Some in the Democratic Party think racism is their little toy to play with and exploit for their own benefit: like they've somehow earned ownership over it.

Greg Kelly's Newsmax show now beats 3 different CNN shows in the ratings: Don Lemon's 11pm show and both the 6am and 7am hour of CNN's "New Day." 🤣
Equally amusing is that CNN is not only incapable of exceeding 1 million total viewers for any of its shows - including prime-time - but also now can't even exceed 750,000!

My last Rumble interview was watched by 1.4 million people, with zero corporate backing & no cable access
There's also a lot here to mock regarding MSNBC's disappearing audience as well but I try, mostly out of pity, to limit my tweets about the rapidly evaporating corporate liberal media to two tweets a week.

To say @Lessig is no fan of Cruz or the GOP generally is a huge understatement.

Yet even he sees the headlines from the Daily Beast and other liberal outlets claiming Cruz "defended" the Nazi Salute are such blatant lies that he had to denounce it. They fabricate constantly:
This headline from DB & @justinbaragona is pure, 100% fabrication, complete fake news, disinformation, whatever you want to call it.

But there will never be any Twitter or Facebook bans of it or labels or whatever, let alone retractions, because it serves the right ideology.
Unsurprisingly, this viral lie came from the epicenter of media fabrications, the fabulist virus himself:

In a London court this morning, the Biden Admin is appealing a ruling from a UK Judge that rejected the US request to extradite Assange to the US, on the ground that his physical and mental health cannot endure US prisons. Follow @richimedhurst reporting on the hearing today:
The Biden Admin's attempts to extradite Assange to the US to imprison him for life for his reporting - and their ongoing success in keeping him imprisoned pending appeal - is the worst assault on western press freedom by far. That only independent journalists care speaks volumes.
In February, virtually every press freedom and civil liberties group urged Biden to cease the prosecution of Assange, warning it was a grave threat to press freedom. He ignored them, and few cared, because feigning concern for press freedom ended in 2021:
