Every day, US Govt officials (CIA/FBI/DOJ/Congress) handpick large media corporation to whom they give non-public info because they know they'll tell the story they want told: NYT, WPost, NBC, CNN, etc.

I want all this footage publicbut that this is unusual is laughable:

The Associated Press

Thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the attack on the U.S. Capitol are being made available to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The stunning level of access granted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is raising alarms about safety and security.

Just has happened with the Twitter Files, now the employees of large media corporations are complaining Fox and Carlson are getting 1/6 footage exclusively.

They're not mad about this practice. Their careers depend on it. They're mad they're not the ones selected to curate it.

The liberal-left largely regards these corporate giants - NYT, NBC, CNN, CBS - as the only place "legitimate journalists" work. Those corporations are their allies and liberals are authoritarians.

Thus, anyone free of those corps is a grifter, an activist, or just illegitimate.
