Journal Article
MADE-FOR-TV-POLITICS
2022
Overview
A normal congressional hearing can make for great television (think of Adam Schiff and Doug Collins locking horns for the first Trump impeachment, or the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings). If the January 6 hearings can't foster a sense of participation in a public ritual, they stand little chance of becoming part of America's political life, or of shaping political opinions, as the Watergate hearings did in the early 1970s. The committee makes a classic mistake: trying to address a problem with the form by intensifying the content. Since the committee took the time and effort to produce a big TV special, the members need to fight the suspicion that what they're communicating is not urgent. Each episode, explicating one part of the \"seven-part plan,\" reveals an institution the president failed to get on his side: the VP's office, state officials, the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, even-in the tale of former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson-the presidential limo driver.
