Reply to comment by Pick_Zoidberg in Biden fires Architect of the Capitol after calls for his resignation by Picture-unrelated

Brit here, never once in my life watched any American news live. But on J6 I tuned in knowing something was going to happen. 10/10 best coup coverage I've ever seen.

Yeah us news is weird. On an average day you’re liable to be less informed about what’s going on watching the news than people who don’t.

But if something major is happening then it all kind of makes sense and you know more than people that are actually there about what’s happening and every angle of why and what could happen next. It’s a bizarre dichotomy.

There was a law about it called the Fairness Doctrine but the Reagan administration collapsed it… now anything broadcast can call itself “news” no matter how fictional it is
