Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Nancy Pelosi rejects two GOP members selected for 1/6 committee WWW.CNN.COM House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected the appointment of two Republicans who objected to the certification of the November election, Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana, to the House select committee that's investigating the January 6 insurrection. Quote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected the appointment of two Republicans who objected to the certification of the November election, Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana, to the House select committee that's investigating the January 6 insurrection. Pelosi said in a statement she was accepting three of the five Republicans named by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy earlier this week, but she would not allow Jordan and Banks to serve on the committee. "With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee," Pelosi said. "The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Ex-Army Ranger weaponized military training to aid Capitol rioters, judge says WWW.CNN.COM A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Capitol rioter and ex-Army Ranger Robert Morss to remain in jail before trial, ruling that he was too dangerous to release and slamming him for using his military training to help organize the mob and eventually breach the Capitol. Quote A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Capitol rioter and ex-Army Ranger Robert Morss to remain in jail before trial, ruling that he was too dangerous to release and slamming him for using his military training to help organize the mob and eventually breach the Capitol. This came hours after the Justice Department released new videos of Morss, which the judge said show how he took on an impromptu leadership role in the attack, coordinating with other rioters and instigating clashes with police. "He is willing to use his training or experience to organize with the rioters on January 6 ... thereby making their actions more effective, more forceful and more violent" Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey said. Harvey went on to say that the rioters "appeared disorganized" until Morss, who was "in his element" as a former Army Ranger, began issuing instructions.

CayceG Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think that thread illustrates that the media at large has not only come to terms with Republican bad faith, but has accepted it as reality! They give it no critical coverage whatsoever. That's just How It Works these days and we'll report on it knowing that! It's infuriating.

Jason Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It wouldn't be "neutral" or "objective" journalism to not both sides it because they're beholden to the idea that there's ALWAYS two sides to every story. This is why pretty much every major article follows a "he said...but SHE said..." format. And it's the same reason shit like climate change denialism gets platformed as being equally worth talking about as climate change science, there's always a second side and it's a side that even has "official" (elected Republicans, paid off scientists) you can get quotes from instead of "injecting yourself into the story". It's an institutional failure because they're literally trained it's not their job to gatekeep the information from the readers. And even if the reporters want to do it differently the editors will enforce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always carried water for government employees acting in bad faith. I'm including its mealy mouthed reporting on police misconduct with "government employees acting in bad faith". It's nothing new, it's just the these people acting in bad faith have caught on to how worthlessly spinless the press is and have taken more and more advantage of it.
