Enough is enough,\u201d Kinzinger <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamKinzinger\/status\/1533984060976025607\">tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFox \u2018News\u2019 has released a statement confirming it will not be airing the Jan 6th hearings on its network,\u201d host of the progressive podcast \u201cAmerica Rises Up\u201d Andrew Wortman tweeted, claiming without evidence that Fox News anchors had assisted in inciting the riot on Capitol Hill and calling for the network to be stripped of its ability to broadcast. \u201cFox anchors not only helped incite the attack, but were in contact with Trump\u2019s Chief of Staff during it. It\u2019s time for this propaganda channel to be taken off the air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillaryClinton\/status\/1534164781262848000\">added<\/a>, \u201cFox News won\u2019t air the January 6 hearings because they prefer their sedition made fresh on-site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lincoln Project suggested that some at Fox News were \u201cscared\u201d of what viewers might see if they allowed the hearings to air. \u201cCBS ABC NBC CNN are all covering the Jan 6 hearings LIVE. @FoxNews\u00a0is the only major channel that isn\u2019t. Why won\u2019t\u00a0@SeanHannity\u00a0@TuckerCarlson\u00a0@IngrahamAngle\u00a0join the rest? No opinion, no editing, just real time coverage. Because they\u2019re scared of what their viewers will see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lieu also suggested that fear was what was driving the network, adding, \u201cWhy is prime time @FoxNews\u00a0scared to show the bipartisan January 6 Committee hearings?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But a few people defended the network\u2019s decision, with some saying that it aligned more with what viewers actually wanted and others arguing that the entire committee was a sham.<\/p>\n<p>Radio host Joe \u201cPags\u201d Pagliarulo cheered the move, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeTalkShow\/status\/1534219120711016451\">saying<\/a>, \u201cFox News will not air the Jan 6th made-for-tv drama. Good. It\u2019s not a legitimate committee. The committee was given Rs to fill the seats. They rejected them. Then appointed to Trump-hating alleged Rs. Not okay. It\u2019s a sham committee and Fox makes the right choice here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Fox News this, Fox News that.\u2019\u00a0Fox isn\u2019t hiding Jan 6. They just know we don\u2019t care. Dems have no platform for midterms so they have to keep pushing fear porn to their fragile voters. We care that we can\u2019t feed our babies.
