First, congratulations to Keith Olbermann for finding a website that will host his podcast, “Countdown.” The selfies of him shouting from his balcony were getting a little repetitive, so it’s good he’s found an outlet.
As Twitchy has reported, both Rep. Adam Schiff and CNN analyst Adam Kinzinger are having tantrums that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given more than 40,000 hours of January 6 footage to Tucker Carlson and his staff. Plenty reminded Kinzinger that Congress has had this footage all along and that his select committee chose to work with a former ABC producer to edit together a “highlight reel” for the public.
Olbermann isn’t just angry that Carlson has the video; he thinks Fox News should be shut down as a national security risk, as the footage will likely be used to “provide a roadmap” for future insurrectionists to evade detection.
Don’t ask us what’s on the video; we didn’t watch it.
"It is time to de-platform and close down FoxNews as a threat to national security.
"@SpeakerMcCarthy has given @TuckerCarlson 41,000 hours of 1/6 Video so he can gaslight the coup AND next time provide a roadmap past detection."

Why you so scared?

What is on these tapes that is so dangerous that it must be hidden from the public?

Why didn’t the J6 Committee make public all 41,000 hours of footage to provide a complete picture?

Does he think he's tough? Boy please

What are you afraid the public will find out? Why would you be against transparency?

The left of the 1960s used to be about freedom of speech and expression, against big business, "The Man" and the war machine. Today they've done a complete 180 and are for everything they were once against.
My guess is it was never about issues, just who controlled the issues.— Markus (@Markus1129) February 21, 2023
Sir, with all due respect (which is none), I think you have mental issues.

Hey look, Keith thinks he is relevant.

He must be very afraid that the false narrative he has promoted will fall.

You had no problem with an ABC executive producer being brought in for the show trial though.

So if we’re getting this straight, Fox News is a national security risk because it might broadcast video that will assist in the next insurrection attempt. Is that why the January 6 committee and Nancy Pelosi have kept it secret? We’ve already seen the video of Capitol Police officers opening the doors and standing aside to let the “rioters” in (and they were awarded medals for their courage).
