Add the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank to the growing list of liberals who are deeply concerned about Tucker Carlson being allowed to examine the thousands of hours of video footage from January 6th.
During an appearance on MSNBC with Al Sharpton, Milbank even said that the footage ‘doesn’t belong in the public domain.’
Milbank also suggests that Tucker can ‘edit it and doctor it’ which seems like a rather unfair accusation.

What happened to the Washington Post’s slogan?

Left media hates transparency (and the First Amendment). https://t.co/Tk1uV3Hwgr

As usual, Glenn Greenwald makes a great point about this.
Dana Milbank works at a paper which flamboyantly adopted this motto when Trump was elected: "Democracy Dies in Darkness."
Here he is arguing against transparency: arguing the public has no business seeing any of the 1/6 footage except what Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney released. https://t.co/nnaGmCUv8t

It’s important to note that Michael Steele is there, nodding along. Can you believe this guy used to be the chairman of the RNC?

Michael Steele, on the left, was the Chairman of the RNC. 🤣

People want transparency.
Democrat operative… The left is in a panic, I wonder why? What is hidden in all that footage that they can’t stand being released.
We need to see everything ! Including all the footage Nancy’s daughter and her crew filmed !

What “journalist” wouldn’t want to keep as much from the public as possible?
— JD Breen (@realjdbreen) February 26, 2023
So Americans shouldn’t be able to see what actually happened? Why not?

Does Dana even hear himself?
"The public doesn't deserve to know" is a fascinating viewpoint from a… journalist.

When journalists argue that the government should have secrets they probably should stop being journalists https://t.co/v6uof4HXUT
