As the Senate began its first hearing on the January 6 Capitol riot, Fox News was focused on something much more insidious -- athletes kneeling. According to headlines reporter Carley Shimkus, athletes protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem “is one of the most polarizing things to happen to this nation in decades,” and it “started the whole anti-America movement.”
While Fox was busy obsessing over athletes kneeling, the other cable news networks were airing the Senate hearing on the January 6 attack, featuring testimony from law enforcement officials and officers who defended the Capitol from rioters.
Update (2/23/21, 12:47 p.m.): Things didn't get any better in the afternoon session.
