Understandably, the US Capitol police chief isn't too impressed with Fox & Carlson either...

"The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video," Manger wrote in the letter. "The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments."
Manger continued, "Finally, the most disturbing accusation from last night was that our late friend and colleague Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with his heroic actions on January 6. The Department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day."
Sicknick’s mother and two brothers responded to Carlson's characterization of the officer's death by saying the host's "'truth' is to pick and choose footage that supports his delusional views that the Jan 6th Insurrection was peaceful."
Carlson said on his show that Democrats lied about Sicknick's death and played video that he said showed Sicknick walking around inside the Capitol after the mob attacked him. "They knew he was not murdered by the mob, but they claimed it anyway," said Carlson, referring to members of the media and the Jan. 6 committee.
Sicknick, who was 42 years old, died of natural causes after the Jan. 6 attack, but Washington, D.C.'s chief medical examiner said that what transpired during the attack played a role in his death.
Capitol Police chief tears into Tucker Carlson over Brian Sicknick
The Fox News host was also criticized by Sicknick's partner and family members, who said Carlson had curated "footage that supports his delusional views" of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who was one of the members on the Jan. 6 committee, is among those who have raised security concerns over the release of the footage, noting it could be used to map the Capitol and the evacuation path of lawmakers.
He called Carlson’s show and conspiracies about Jan. 6 pushed through his documentary a “central part of the GOP agenda and playbook as they try to get Donald Trump elected to the White House again.”
“They didn’t even apparently honor their agreement with the Capitol Police to provide the clips in advance. So there can be some attempt to contextualize whatever silly potshots they’re taking,” he told The Hill.
“The absurd part is they act like their fragmented and disoriented potshots from Capitol security footage are the only documentary record of what happened. There are thousands and thousands of hours that have already been published – not just security footage – but also [by] media that were present and insurrectionists themselves. The whole world was watching and everyone knows exactly what happened. They are involved in a fraudulent enterprise here,” he added.
Among the unfounded theories Carlson floated in his Monday program were suggestions that federal agents helped incite the violence, though he stopped short of providing evidence to prove it. He also cast doubt on the circumstances surrounding the death of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick.
It was something Manger deemed “the most disturbing accusation from last night” in asserting his death “had nothing to do with heroic actions on Jan. 6.”
“The department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day,” the chief said.
Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 footage sparks bipartisan outrage
Fox News host Tucker Carlson whipped up a firestorm Tuesday on Capitol Hill, sparking bipartisan backlash and igniting tensions with Capitol Police by downplaying the Jan. 6 Capitol riot on his prime-time program as “mostly peaceful chaos.” His show divided Republicans, with a number of GOP...

I think at this point everybody charged should petition the courts for false imprisonment, for false charges filed; anybody already tried and convicted should file for negligent prosecution and mistrial; the judges, the prosecutors and those providing false evidence should all be sentenced in their stead.

Note the redundant word, "selected", that I've highlighted above in yahoo, @Arthur Brain's Yahoo article. Obviously, it goes without saying that Carlson had to select the material he showcased on his show, from out of the far larger body of "J6" material he had not selected, and there is absolutely nothing wrong or unscrupulous about that. It would be insane to demand that he should have shown, within the confines of a single episode of his program, all the many hours of the "J6" material. Thus, if he was to show any of it at all, it was unavoidable that he should have selected that which he was to, and did show. (Of course, we know that leftards hate the light, and that they'd just as soon have nobody, ever again, see any of the material (the control of which they have recently lost their monopoly), since it does not corroborate their false narrative.) And this goes without saying with rationally-thinking people. But Democrats, leftards, are not rationally-thinking people, and I have a hunch that, as the Democrat/leftard MSM are nothing but lying, anti-American scum who use whatever props seem helpful to their perpetual purpose of gaslighting the public--including (nay, especially) the weaponization of the language they use against their marks, and by which they manipulate their thralls (such as Arthur Brain)--the author of Arthur Brain's Yahoo article intended his otherwise unnecessary modifier word, "selected", to carry something of a condemnatory charge in the minds of his target audience.

Funny how he's not addressing the plenty Republicans who weren't impressed with any of it. Carlson and Fox have a bad enough reputation as it is lately and forced laughter ain't helping any...

The former lawyer for Jan. 6 protester Jacob Chansley, commonly known as the QAnon Shaman, derided federal prosecutors on Tuesday, saying recently released video footage of his client being escorted through the U.S. Capitol by police was never disclosed to the defense and is nothing less than “a dagger in the heart of the justice system.”
“The video depicts Chansley walking through the Capitol, police escorting him around, trying to get him into the [Senate] chamber,” attorney Al Watkins said. “It’s indicative of the government gone amok.”
Video of Chansley, recognizable for his painted face as well as buffalo horns and fur headdress, walking calmly through the Capitol without being stopped or even questioned was shown Monday on Fox News.
The video was part of more than 40,000-plus hours collected by the Democrat-dominated Jan. 6 Committee in the House but never previously released. Newly installed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., gave the video to Fox News.
Watkins said prosecutors had an obligation to disclose the video to him, which they never did.
“The footage was not received by us,” said Watkins, who added he maintained copious records. “It was a right taken away from Jake. How can I put what the options are if I don’t know what evidence the government has.”
Chansley pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding in November 2021 and was sentenced to 41 months in prison after prosecutors asked that he be punished to the maximum 51 months as “emblematic of a barbaric crowd,” CNN reported at the time.
“The court has to be upset,” Watkins said, referring to U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who imposed the sentence. “The government tried to portray him as a leader, leading the charge, threatening, an imposing person with a flag and flagpole, inciting others, when clearly this [video) is demonstrative of quite to the contrary.
“I hope everyone, everyone, realizes this damages all of as Americans, not just Jake. This ruins it for everyone.”
Watkins said he is no longer Chansley’s attorney, but would be a witness if his current lawyer, who he said was John Pierce, wanted to petition the court.
Pierce did not immediately return an email or phone message left with his office. The Department of Justice did not return a message left through its website.
