Brian Stelter Explains Why January 6 Gets So Much More Attention Than the 2020 Riots

We're surprised the White House isn't flying the flag at half-staff today, the third anniversary of Ashli Babbitt's death and also the day Capitol Police escorted a guy in face paint and a buffalo hat into the Capitol. Vice President Kamala Harris marked the occasion with a tweet about the fragility of democracy — the same Kamala Harris who promoted a bail fund for rioters in Minneapolis in 2020.
President Biden proudly declared Friday that the January 6 "insurrectionists" had been sentenced to a collective 840 years in prison. How many years in prison are the rioters who looted and set fires in 2020 serving?
Brian Stelter thinks he knows why January 6 receives "outsize attention" in the media (and among our elected representatives). It's Donald Trump, obviously.
Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) ~ A good reflection of liberal media bias is the volume of energy still consumed by Jan 6 — while almost zero attention is spent on the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots which were considerably more deadly and destructive.
Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) ~ I can’t even imagine Biden being asked whether he would condemn BLM/Antifa rioting — he would probably laugh off the question.
Enter The Tater ...
Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) ~ Jan. 6 receives outsize attention in part because there is a concerted campaign, led by a former president, to deny and cover up what happened. There is no equivalent campaign re: 2020's rioting.
The major cover-ups regarding January 6 were and, to some extent, still are: (1) why Ashli Babbitt was murdered by a Capitol Police officer, (2) to what extent did the FBI stoke the demonstration, and (3) why did Nancy Pelosi deny Capitol Police requests to call in National Guard ahead of the demonstration.
Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Your former network engaged in a concerted campaign to deny and cover up the destruction of BLM/Antifa rioting.
Your consistently partisan and one-sided coverage is part of the reason you no longer have a show
But very nice to hear from you again here. Hope you’ve been well!
Emmanuel Skoullos (@mannyskou) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Mr. Stelter please understand this. If you were just honest you would still be working.
Sir 'No.' Mycroft (@sir_mycroft) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Never forget 6/1/20.

a newsman (@a_newsman) ~ In the summer of 2020 the President and his family were rushed to the bomb shelter under the White House as protesters attacked Secret Service and DC police causing numerous injuries. The media called him “bunker Don” and never interviewed a single injured officer.
ZenWayofLife (@ZenWayof) ~ Imagine if law enforcement had been as lax that day and the mob had made it into the grounds of the WH ...
The Great Intellectual (Corn/Pop) (@TheGreatIntell1) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Brian you all claimed violent riots were “peaceful protests” and not a single Democrat condemned those committing these violent insurrectionist acts by name.
Show me one quote where Democrats condemned BLM or Antifa violence by name? Heck you all claimed “Antifa is an idea.”
Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) ~ {Replying to @TheGreatIntell1} Who's "you all?" I was live on CNN in June 2020 covering the violence.
You didn't cover squat, Tater ... you simply excused it all away.
"Covering [up] the violence." Come on, fiery but mostly peaceful?
Dronetek Media (@FNCriticGuy) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Brian, the riots from 2015 to 2020 we're all incited by Democrats and their media mouthpieces like you, based on lies. Over 60,000 cops were injured in 2020 alone, but we never hear about those. Down the memory hole.
TheBuriedLedeR (@The_BuriedLedeR) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Leftist Tool #Potato continues to do the dirty work of his psychopathic overlords even after @CNN fires him and tosses his sorry butt to the curb.
CNN HIRED a Capitol Police officer who was on duty on January 6. How many injured police officers from the Summer of Love did CNN hire on? Interview?
