James Poniewozik: The January 6th Hearings Did a Great Service, by Making Great TV

From a New York Times story by critic James Poniewozik headlined “The Jan. 6 Hearings Did a Great Service, by Making Great TV”:

Every new summer TV series has to fight to get attention. The Jan. 6 hearings had more challenges than most.

There was public exhaustion and media jadedness over a story that’s been in the news for a year and a half. There was the MAGA echo chamber that has primed a huge chunk of America to reject, sight unseen, any accusation against former President Donald J. Trump.
