Sources tell CNN that&nbsp;Democrats are making a conscious effort to avoid turning the probe into a spectacle. Something that they think Republicans might attempt to do.&nbsp;Democrats are also looking to keep some of the work they do behind closed doors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Mark Finkelstein of Newsbusters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/mark-finkelstein\/2021\/07\/08\/cnns-berman-dems-beware-wrestling-dirty-gop-pig-16-hearings\">reported<\/a>, Berman then played a clip of Fox \u201crepeatedly channeling all of the Democrat chatter that Republicans will politicize the 1\/6 hearings,\u201d like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>[Look], the committee has met twice behind closed doors to try to sort out how they are going to move forward in investigating what happened on January 6. And one thing that&nbsp;they\u2019re very conscious of, very aware of, is that Republicans are going to try to make this a spectacle&nbsp;as quickly as they can . . . They\u2019re&nbsp;very conscious of the fact that select committees like the Benghazi select committee became something that was a political firework every time they had a public hearing.&nbsp;Some of the work that they want to do is going to happen behind closed doors&nbsp;. . . They\u2019re also aware of the fact that to get some new information, to actually break through what happened on January 6, how these people were able to communicate ahead of this event,&nbsp;they need to have some real investigations that happen behind closed doors. \u2026&nbsp;Whether or not Democrats can keep this from becoming a political circus, they\u2019re going to try really hard&nbsp;and they\u2019re very conscious of that.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox then surmised, ignoring the fact that Rep. Liz Cheney\u2019s (R-WY) presence on the committee would not strike some members of the GOP as being representative of their positions, \u201cAnd we should also note that<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Pelosi, in trying to make sure this doesn\u2019t look like a partisan circus, has Liz Cheney that she appointed to this committee.&nbsp;That was a very conscious decision to send a message to some of her moderate members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later on the show, Walsh told Keilar, \u201cThe&nbsp;Democrats shouldn\u2019t be afraid, Brianna, to look into that truth, because that truth is that Donald Trump and the Republicans, the big lie, led to the why, to why people were there. I think&nbsp;Democrats really need to be unafraid<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>here to pursue the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berman patronized, \u201cThe problem, though, is,&nbsp;as they used to say to me growing up on the farm,<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Joe, is that the thing is,&nbsp;when you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. The Republicans, as you say, they want this to be dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
