I think it was better to allow a right leaning production company access first to all of the footage as even if they craft a report that is right-biased the result may be to somewhat counter the left biased narrative we have been fed for the last two years. There is also the added benefit of a professional production team making sense of all that footage as well as muting cries about security by only one source having access under an agreement to clear footage that might be a security problem with the House firstThat’s my thinking as well. Why not just make all the video available to everyone? Why give it to a right-wing news site? We now have the left wing narrative. And the right wing narrative.
But we really don’t have the full truth. Viewing left-wing propaganda plus right-wing propaganda doesn’t sum to give us the whole truth. Just the parts each side wants us to see.
That said, it’s quite odd that if it’s the “armed insurrection” claimed by the left, what possible context supports CP calmly allowing—even inviting—these “domestic terrorists” into the building and escorting them around like they’re vip’s. Those of you who believe the “insurrection” narrative, please do share your explanation. It better be good or I’ll just laugh at you.
A wide open free-for-all of any and every source with access would just result in 100s of biased presentations, a result desired by the left because the noise would drown out a more focused analysis and the crazier versions could be highlighted by the left to impugn any questioning of their narrative
I certainly would support eventual widespread release of all the footage, but the more important question in my mind is why didn't the Democrats rats want to release it for two years and only came around when release couldn't be stopped
