- - - T.H.A.T., Edition No. 219 - - -

    I have a lot of "for-the-record" stuff in this edition of Television History and Trivia.  For example, I show up the nonsense from the "Select Committee" of the U.S. House of Representatives television event of June 9, 2022, and the nonsense of the other television events of the U.S. House of Representatives that followed, and I expose bad information on the Internet about old television series.  Yes, it is another standard Television History and Trivia document, but, unlike the previous two editions, it has nothing about Anna May Wong (almost).
    [Note: On June 27, 2022, I sent emails to management entities related to Ms. Gemma Chan, a British actress who is scheduled at some time in the future to play Ms. Anna May Wong in some type of production, and I reported that T.H.A.T. #217, and T.H.A.T. #218 had information about Ms. Anna May Wong and her television series called The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, and I sent the two documents to the entities, and I have received no response from Ms. Gemma Chan or any of Ms. Gemma Chan's associates, but that is not surprising since I attack modern-day socialists and communists in the documents, such as those pushing the fake "systemic-racism" theme related to the United States of America, and people who do not support my work are very likely to not respond, showing their natures.]

    When I began to study television history in the 1970s, especially starting in 1972, I soon learned, in the 1950s and 1960s, the broadcast networks often aired "specials" or "spectaculars," such as big-time stage plays, and, for instance, some shows that were really promoted as spectaculars were those under such umbrella titles as Max Liebman Presents and DuPont Show of the Month, both of which were a series of 90-minute presentations (often), and there were numerous one-hour specials featuring famous singers and performers.  In essence, big-deal entertainment specials have disappeared from the broadcast networks, but, from time to time, what can be called an entertainment special does show up.  In the last few years, what might be called big-time specials related to politics have shown up, and two of the big-time ones were the impeachment events related to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and they were staged events filled with rottenness and lies from the Democrats and their supporters (some of whom were Republicans), and one of the events that I have written about can be learned about by reading my document called A Review of What Television Controlled by Socialists and Communists Worked to Sell as Truth in Relation to the U.S. President Donald J. Trump Impeachment, which can be reached through this Impeachment link, and, by the way, one of the persons who pushed big lies at the impeachment events about U.S. President Donald J. Trump--and was caught lying--was U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (who will be mentioned again within this document).  On January 6, 2021, U.S. President Donald J. Trump held an outdoor rally in Washington, D.C., at a location that was a good twenty-minutes walking time away from the U.S. Capitol, and, on that day, some persons broke through the barriers of the U.S. Capitol and strolled around on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and within the building, and the breakthrough took place before U.S. President Donald J. Trump finished speaking at his rally, and it has been proven that nothing said by U.S. President Donald J. Trump was something that could inspire rioting and such [Note: Some videos show that some guards at the U.S. Capitol sort of waved people in to the Capitol.].  Since January 6, 2021, socialists and communists and progressives and the like--the members of the Democratic Party and some members of the Republican Party--have pushed the false issue that U.S. President Donald J. Trump incited a riot or pushed for an insurrection on January 6, 2021, and since January 6, 2021, it has been proven that U.S. President Donald J. Trump had offered to provide, such as to U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (a Democrat), thousands of National Guard people to the U.S. Congress a couple days before the rally was scheduled to take place, and someone tied to the U.S. Congress or the U.S. Capitol, such as Nancy Pelosi, who is responsible ultimately for security at the U.S. Capitol, did not take up the offer of having National Guard people at the U.S. Capitol way before the rally was to take place.  It is known that the U.S. president cannot send, for example, National Guard people to the U.S. Capitol without getting a request to send them by someone, such as the U.S. Speaker of the House, at the U.S. Capitol or by the mayor ot Washington, D.C..  Since January 6, 2021, the main press entities, such as television network news shows, have essentially ignored reporting that Nancy Pelosi or her associates did little to secure the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.  In July 2021, a special committee was set up--ultimately by Nancy Pelosi--in the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate (it was being said) the so-called riot and insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and, in late July 2021, the committee began to do work, which smart and honorable people knew was unconstitutional work, since the committee was acting like a body of the U.S. Department of Justice, though the U.S. House of Representatives is only a legislative body, and, officially, the committee was called the "Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol."  Hearings were held--in private--by the committee over the next year or so, and people were summoned to testify, even those who had no ties to the event of January 6, 2021, such as by being at the U.S. Capitol.  On Thursday, June 9, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives put on a television show--like a spectacular--for people during prime-time television, and the event as broadcast by ABC-TV was called Attack on the Capitol: The Investigation, and the ABC-TV presentation (at least) was orchestrated by the former head of ABC News, James Golston.  Before the television event on ABC-TV would be presented, press people and some politicians were reporting that the event would be a mix of live and recorded materials.  For the record, I report that the committee panel was made up of nine persons--Bennie Thompson (a Democrat), Stephanie Murphy (a Democrat), Zoe Lofgren (a Democrat), Elaine Luria (a Democrat), Pete Aguilar (a Democrat), Jamie Raskin (a Democrat), Adam Schiff (a Democrat), Adam Kinzinger (a Republican), and Liz Cheney (a Republican), all of whom would show off their true nature--as communists--through what they would do.  I remind you that the committee did not and does not have the power--such as from a statement in the The United States Constitution--to conduct what was essentially a criminal investigation.  During the few days before the broadcast show trial or witch-hunt trial, it was often reported that the committee interviewed some 1,000 persons (so-called witnesses), and a smart and good person understood then that the witnesses would have nothing to say to prove U.S. Donald J. Trump started the so-called insurrection at the Capitol, because such a person had analysed the main points of information that had already been out in public for a year or so, and a smart and good person was well aware of past incidents in which Democrats did indeed use public speeches to incite violence, a good example of which was in March 2020 when U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer worked to incite violence (during the now-famous "Pay the Price"-"You Won't Know What Hit You" speech) against two justices of the U.S. Supreme Court (Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh).  Incidentally, on the morning of June 8, 2022, police caught a man who it seemed was working to assassinate a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.  At 8:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on Thursday, June 9, 2022, some of the broadcast networks (at least), which did not include Fox TV, began to cover and broadcast the hearing by the committee, and I happened to be tuned to ABC-TV, which had gotten promoted first as a network that was going to carry the event.  During the opening of the coverage by ABC-TV, ABC-TV had one clip showing Donald J. Trump speaking and saying--"...We'll never take back our country with weakness....", and that hinted to me that the production--using something out of context--was working to sell the idea right from the start that Donald J. Trump worked to incite violence and had incited violence.  The first speaker was Bennie Thompson, who often spoke sloppily, and Bennie Thompson worked to sell the idea that Donald Trump had a "multi-step conspiracy" to over throw the election process, and Bennie Thompson worked to sell the idea that there was no voter fraud in November 2020 [Note: The committee pushed forth the idea that people around Donald J. Trump thought the election fraud idea was nonsense, but since about January 2021, fraud has been shown, such as through the film 2,000 Mules, which, in essence, premiered on May 2, 2022.].  Also, Bennie Thompson worked to sell the idea that he and his associates on the panel (at least) were good people, since they had had worn an oath to The United States Constitution to be in their jobs (which I say does not mean anything, since people lie about what they might stand for).  The next speaker was Liz Cheney, and much of what Liz Cheney did was report what the hearings to come (over the next number of days or weeks) were going to present, and Liz Cheney reported how the events are going to show the "seven-part plan" by Donald J. Trump to remain the U.S. president, and Liz Cheney pushed out lies, as had Bennie Thompson, and one general lie is that Donald J. Trump had been involved with 60 lawsuits (designed to contest election results), all of which he lost, but his running 60 lawsuits did not happen.  And Liz Cheney pushed out the idea that Donald J. Trump's continually saying that the election was stolen resulted in a misinformation campaign--a "massive" misinformation campaign--that was designed to incite a riot.  I have to report that Liz Cheney did note that it was known that there was information--known to government people--that indicated there might be trouble on January 6, 2021, but Liz Cheney did not mention that Nancy Pelosi was in charge ultimately of security at the U.S. House of Representatives and Nancy Pelosi did nothing ahead of time about getting more security at the U.S. Capitol, and Liz Cheney did not report that U.S. President Donald J. Trump offered security help to the U.S. Capitol several days before January 6, 2021, would arrive.  Next, Bennie Thompson introduced a series of video clips, showing people at the U.S. Capitol acting in an unruly matter, especially people related to an entity called "The Proud Boys."  Then, the committee took a break, having used an hour or so of the proposed two hours for the spectacular, and the networks then got to use their news teams and commentary teams to comment on what had been presented by the committee so far.  The committee returned to work at about 9:13 p.m. (Detroit time), and Bennie Thompson led the way, setting up a portion of the hearing that was having witnesses make statements and such.  A woman named Caroline Edwards--a police officer at the U.S. Capitol, especially on January 6, 2021, and the granddaughter of a U.S. Marine--was the first witness to speak, and one of her topics was about her being called names, and I report that her testimony had nothing to do with proving whether or not Donald J. Trump incited a riot, and she was used--used--to push forth the image of a woman who had been wronged (such as through name calling).  The next witness was a man named Nick Quested, and he had no information about whether or not Donald J. Trump was guilty of something or other, and it was reported that Nick Quested was a film maker, and a smart and good person surely wondered why he was a witness.  Nick Quested had no information tied to Donald J. Trump.  Oh, through the Nick Quester segment, the committee tried to make the case through a video presentation that words spoken by Donald J. Trump in a debate caused an increase in the membership of The Proud Boys, but I report that an increase or decrease of membership has no bearing to Donald J. Trump and has no relation to Donald J. Trump, and it is not evidence about Donald J. Trump inciting a riot or not or being associated with The Proud Boys.  Yes, the segment with Nick Quester did show that some people, such as those related to The Proud Boys, did screwed-up things on January 6, 2021, doing so while not armed with guns, but that was no reason to have a prime-time hearing by a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, using up broadcast time that would have been better used by playing regular fiction stuff (stories of prime-time series and such).  And the Nick Quester segment was used to show the viewing public that a couple of hundred members of The Proud Boys were marching to the U.S. Capitol in roughly the ten o'clock hour on the morning of January 6, 2021, and Nick Quester was asked what the atmosphere was like at the U.S. Capitol, and he hinted it was rather dark.  I note that, for months before the broadcast event took place, Democrats pushed the idea that the speech by Donald J. Trump on January 6, 2021, inspired people to riot on that day, but Bennie Thompson (seemingly not realizing it) screwed up, throwing that idea out by saying that The Proud Boys did not attend the speech by Donald J. Trump.  How could Donald J. Trump's speech have inspired The Proud Boys to riot, and does not Bennie Thompson's statement indicate that The Proud Boys had planned to riot well ahead of Donald J. Trump's speech?  Bennie Thompson unknowingly knocked down the idea that Donald J. Trump's speech on the day of the event inspired The Proud Boys to get in the U.S. Capitol.  Next, Liz Cheney questioned Caroline Edwards, and all that Caroline Edwards did was offer up what she saw on January 6, 2021, and the Caroline Edwards segment was a like a filler moment.  Caroline Edwards' so-called testimony offered up nothing of substance, and it reminded me of the witness testimony of the two impeachment events related to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, which had been crap events that offered up witness testimony that had nothing to prove impeachment should be done or not done.  Caroline Edwards did talk about a police officer and herself getting "sprayed" with something on January 6, 2021, but that had nothing to do Donald J. Trump and any possible seven-part plan to overturn the election, and, anyway, if Nancy Pelosi would have had the security set properly at the U.S. Capitol for January 6, 2021, Caroline Edwards would not have been "sprayed" in such a way (it seems, since the day would have run differently).  [Note: Liz Cheney did use the day to say that, in the future, the committee was going to show why more security was not at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.]  Oh, Bennie Thompson asked Caroline Edwards what was one memory that stands out in her mind greatly, and it was a useless response, such as about how it looked like a war zone (though she had never been in a war zone), and it was stuff that Bennie Thompson was probably hoping would elicit sympathetic emotions in the minds of the viewing audience, especially women.  That got the broadcast to about the one-hour-and-fifty-one-minute mark.  Next, a video presentation showed information about why the rioters did rioting, and, for example, one guy in the video pushed out the idea that "He [Donald Trump] personally asked for us to come to D.C. on that day.".  U.S. President Donald J. Trump's asking for people to show up for the outdoor rally, which he had been done for all Americans, is no evidence of his pushing for people to riot.  Peoples' deciding to riot gets tied to their own choosing!  At about 9:55 p.m. (Detroit time) on June 9, 2022, the committee was closed down with a bang of a gavel by Bennie Thompson, and then the so-called news teams went through their nonsense--shallow flap doodle, gum-flapping, commentary.  By the way, ABC-TV had Chris Christie as a guest at the end, whom I mention in this document later.  "Powerful moments"--that is what Jonathan Karl of ABC News thought of the event, but I found it all rather boring.  ABC-TV gave up on the broadcast at about 10:00 p.m. (Detroit time), as did CBS-TV, but NBC-TV continued on past 10:00 p.m., and, in fact, NBC-TV gave up on the broadcast at about 10:08 p.m. (and then gave viewers an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit already underway).  In the end, the broadcast event--which covered official hearing procedures--was a staged event in which only one side of a story was presented, or, in other words, the event was a one-sided event presenting what the enslavists wanted the public to see and hear--like the plot of a fictional story.  There was no rebuttal as in a trial, and there was no defense of any kind presented!  The television event was no spectacular!
    [Note: To learn about the crap that took place during the election of November 2020, see my document that can be reached through this Fraud link.  By the way, I probably have a better understanding of what fraud took place in the election of november 2020 than most people today, even people who were associates of Donald J. Trump's around the time of the election and who are still associates.  The committee seemed to be working to show a whole bunch of people--who did not do investigation into fraud in any way and certainly did nothing like what I did for my document--told Donald J. Trump over a number of weeks and maybe even months after the election had taken place that there was no fraud in the election.  But they did not work to find fraud!  They probably accepted what the main media was telling the American public.  Information from witnesses that show that they told Donald J. Trump that there was no fraud is useless information, given the people did not do research--it is not fact, and it is only shallow opinions.  And it must be remembered courts blocked almost all cases related to showing fraud in the election of November 2020 from even getting started, even those filed by Donald J. Trump's associates.  And I have to report that, on the morning of June 9, 2022, the FBI arrested a Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate named Ryan Kelly, who had been at Donald J. Trump rally [and it seemed odd that the FBI would wait till the day of the broadcast event to arrest Ryan Kelly, given information about Ryan Kelly's being at the U.S. Capitol for the Trump rally had been known since January 2021, and the arrest came after a weird thing had taken place recently in Michigan, where a number of Republican candidates had been blocked from getting on the forthcoming election slate of Republicans vying to run against a Democrat for the governor of Michigan (who currently was Gretchen Whitmer) because of bad signatures on petitions from so-called voters, and the arrest had come a little after it had been shown that the so-called "Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping case" was a fraud that involved members of the FBI, and the arrest came while people remembered the FBI had been involved in pushing the crap of the Trump-Russian collusion theme, having worked to get what should be called unlawful surveillance against the Donald J. Trump campaign.  And then there is the case of how Peter Navarro (an associate of Donald J. Trump's) was arrested by the federal government and put in shackles for refusing to testify before what was deemed by him to be the rogue-like committee (a committee acting unconstitutionally), citing he was protected under "executive privilege" related to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and there is the case of another associate of Donald J. Trump's, too, Steve Bannon.]

    It looks as if about 20-million persons tuned in to see the television broadcast related to the "Select Committee" (at least in relation to 12 television outlets, such as some of the broadcast networks), and I report that that is a terrible rating, especially when a person considers some 12 outlets are involved in the rating [Porter, Rick.  "TV Ratings: 20M watch Jan 6, Hearings, ABC and MSNBC Lead." The Hollywood Reporter, 10 June 2022, 2:15 p.m..].

    As I expected, the Sunday-morning news-like shows or political-based-interview shows of the broadcast networks for Sunday, June 12, 2022, focused on the first hearing by the "Select Committee," and ABC-TV through This Week had U.S. Representative Adam Schiff as a guest.  Martha Raddatz was the interviewer for the broadcast that day.  Right from the beginning, Adam Schiff showed one of the themes of the "Select Committee," and it was to push the idea that U.S. President Donald J. Trump's saying over and over again that the election was corrupt drove people to enter the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and, in fact, Adam Schiff said--"...The evidence is very powerful that Donald Trump began telling this big lie even before the election....".  However, I report that a person's saying that something--even over and over again--is no proof that the person wanted other people to enter the U.S. Capitol.  There is no correlation that would stand up in court.  Officially, Adam Schiff lied and said that Donald J. Trump's lie led to peoples' showing up as a "mob assembly."  I note that U.S. President Donald J. Trump made public statements before January 6, 2021, such as on radio programs, aimed at having people show up for a rally on January 6, 2021, and the so-called "lie" was not pushed as a reason to show up and riot and enter the U.S. Capitol.  In addition, Adam Schiff through the interview on ABC-TV worked to push the idea that U.S. Donald Trump is somehow tied to "white nationalists."  And, in fact, Adam Schiff actually pushed out the idea that some people in "Trump's orbit" have had ties to "white nationalists."   A person has to wonder what "Trump's orbit" means.  I could say that Adam Schiff is in Vladimir Putin's orbit, since Vladimir Putin (of Russia) is a communist and a socialist and a progressive, and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who honeymooned in Moscow, is a big supporter of communism and socialism and progressivism, and Bernie Sanders is in the Democratic Party, and Adam Schiff is in the Democratic Party and supports the ways of the Democratic Party, which involves communism and socialism and progressivism.  And, as in the past on other television programs and more, Adam Schiff pushed out at least one wild unproven statement during the interview on This Week--"...He [Donald Trump] doesn't care about anything but himself....".

    I report that, in June 2022, television was used by enslavists (Democrats and Republicans who are tied to the values of communism and socialism and progressivism) to sell the idea that U.S. President Donald Trump worked hard to destroy the election system of the United States of America, and media people helped to sell the one-sided story, and that even included local news people of Detroit, who have done nothing to report on the opposite side of the issue, such as even make it known that Donald  J. Trump released a statement--a long-document--related to the television event, and the document was released on June 12, 2022, and since you probably did not learn Donald J. Trump issued the document for the public, I present some of it here, and it was entitled "STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP".
 

    Our nation is SUFFERING.  Our economy is in the gutter.  Inflation is rampant.  Gas prices have reached an all-time high.  Ships are unable to unload cargo.  Families cannot get needed baby formula.  We are an embarrassment around the world. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster that cost us precious American blood, and gave $85 billion worth of the best military equipment on earth to our enemy.

    Millions and millions of illegals are marching to the border and invading our country.  We have a White House in shambles, with Democrats, just this week, declaring that Biden is unfit to run for reelection.  And what is the Democrat Congress focused on?  A Kangaroo Court, hoping to distract the American people from the great pain they are experiencing.

    Seventeen months after the events of January 6th, Democrats are unable to offer solutions.  They are desperate to change the narrative of a failing nation, without even making mention of the havoc and death caused by the Radical Left just months earlier.  Make no mistake, they control the government.  They own this disaster.  They are hoping that these hearings will somehow alter their failing prospects.

    A certain Democrat once said, "It's the economy, stupid."  Well, Democrats now seem to think that Americans are "stupid."  They are not.  America is crumbling, and Democrats have no solutions.  Our nation has no hope of change for the better under Democrat leadership.  People are desperate.  Rather than solving problems, Democrats are rehashing history in hopes of changing the narrative.  During my time in office, our nation was thriving, our economy was strong, and the price of gas was very low.  Above all else, we were respected, perhaps like never before.  America prospered under the Trump Administration.

The Sham Investigation

    The January 6th Unselect Committee is disgracing everything we hold sacred about our Constitution.  If they had any real evidence, they'd hold real hearings with equal representation.  They don't, so they use the illegally-constituted committee to put on a smoke and mirrors show for the American people, in a pitiful last-ditch effort to deceive the American public...again

    Our Constitution protects the right to confront accusers, honors the right to fair trials, and holds the right to legal representation as paramount in our justice system.  Equal representation and the opportunity to offer rebuttal evidence is fundamental in our legal process.  The Committee has obliterated those rights and is making a mockery of justice.  They have refused to allow their political opponents to participate in this process, and have exclude all exculpatory witnesses, and anyone who so easily points out the flaws in their story.

    MAGA witnesses were interrogated behind closed doors and ordered to not record their own testimony.  Members of my staff, my friends, supporters, volunteers, donors, were subjected to hours upon hours of inquisition -- oftentimes having nothing to do with January 6th.  Their very lives were turned upside down for obvious reasons.  They were told it was an ongoing investigation and any reproduction of the interrogation would be viewed as an attempt to interfere in the investigation.  They were gagged, threatened, and in some cases ruined.

    Yet, the Unselect Pseudo-Committee has coordinated with their media puppets to broadcast their witnesses on national television without any opposition, cross-examination, or rebuttal evidence.  The American public has a right to know the truth and see every witness, but these corrupt officials are trying to force-feed the public with their politically opportune sideshow.

    What are the members of this treasonous "Committee" afraid of?  Why can't they let the countervailing opinion be heard?  Why are they hiding evidence from the public and only showing information that favors the Democrats' tall tale?  They're afraid of losing the narrative, because their political opponents could easily show how the committee is lying to the nation and has stripped Americans of their rightful power.

    Democrats created the narrative of January 6th to detract from the much larger and more important truth that the 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen.  Politicians from both parties, but mostly the Democrats, worked in conjunction with corporate elitists to strip Americans of our right to elect our own leaders.  To do so, corrupt officials violated their own state laws.

    The separation of powers is designed to make sure that no officials become dictators by granting the authority to make laws with the legislature and execute laws with the executive branch.  No one office should have complete power.  It must be separated among different offices.  In 2020, separation of powers went out the window.  The state executive branch, in both red and blue states, decided to completely ignore state laws, make up their own rules, and execute them.  In other words, they became the little dictators our Constitution was designed to prevent.

    They illegally inflated voter roles, illegally allows harvested and stuffed ballots, abused the use of mail-in ballots, physically removed Republicans from counting facilities, abused the elderly in nursing homes, bribed election officials with donations, stopped counting on Election Night, gave Democrats three extra days to harvest ballots, and demanded that the American people believe it was legitimate.

    That is how the document from Donald J. Trump begins, and I urge you to hunt down the document on the Internet to read all that is presented.  [Note: I printed out the document, and it runs 12 pages.]

    On Monday, June 13, 2022, I turned on a television set at about 10:00 a.m., such as to NBC-TV, and I expected to see more stuff from the "Select Committee," since it had been reported that the "Select Committee" was scheduled to start up work on television at 10:00 a.m. on June 13, 2022, but there was no broadcast of the event.  Then, NBC-TV began to do broadcasting of the event, the start of which had been delayed, at about 10:45 a.m., while I was emptying a vacuum cleaner, and Lester Holt was the anchor, and he pushed out the idea that the "Select Committee" was going to show "direct" evidence that Donald J. Trump was involved in directing the riot.  The local television station dropped out of the coverage quickly, while I was vacuuming, and so I had to switch to the ABC-TV affiliate of the region that I was in, and one witness segment shown through video presented the thought that Donald J. Trump said that there was major fraud in the election before the election was officially in progress, and I say that that that was and is true, given, for example, the State of Pennsylvania--right up to the highest court--did not follow the law in the election process, so the witnesses statement shown in video was defective information and even deceptive.  Corrupting voting laws is election fraud!  By the way, that was the information offered during a segment featuring Liz Cheney (the interviewer for the moment), who also helped to offer up the idea that associates around U.S. President Donald Trump a little after the election had taken place were saying that they could not support the election-fraud idea, and I say that that is not good evidence to show that Donald J. Trump was pushing a lie, since at the time, there was not a lot of good information--as there is today--such as about mail-in-ballot fraud, and the associates could have been thinking about whether or not they could sell the fraud idea well while the media, which has been shown to be corrupt, was not showing anything related to fraud, and the associates were probably thinking of optics and what was being said in the media, given they were not involved in doing true research about election fraud, and, meanwhile, Donald J. Trump believed something was wrong, and Donald J. Trump had the right to make his thoughts known, rather than keep the feelings quiet.  Given I quickly spotted useless themes from the "Select Committee" on June 13, 2022, early in the broadcast, I soon gave up on the television event, leaving some half hour or so before it would end for the morning.

    Corruption in the main media is rampant, as the television shows related to the "Select Committee" focusing on the event of January 6, 2021, at the U.S Capitol showed, and some news entities have actually created lies about the January 6 event.  On June 17, 2022 (at 11:54 a.m.), an entity called Media Matters published a story written by Matt Gertz called "A Fox host who apparently helped mastermind John Eastman's coup plot was the only one talking about it in prime time".  The story, which was about Mark R. Levin (of the nationally syndicated radio show called The Mark Levin Show) commented on the story on his radio show of June 20, 2022, hinting it was something that could lead to a big lawsuit, which he noted was to be held at bay for now (at least) upon advice from lawyers well-versed in taking on libel suits and such (which are not Mark Levin's speciality).  Look how Media Matters worked to put Mark R. Levin into the story about Donald J. Trump and the election happenings of around late 2020 early 2021.
 

Fox news is burying Thursday's revelations about the plot by then-President Donald Trump and Trump lawyer John Eastman to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to illegally reject electors from key states that supported Joe Biden and thus subvert the election to keep Trump in office, detailed during Thursday's hearing of the House select committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The only mentions of that conspiracy during Fox's prime-time block Thursday night came from Fox host Mark Levin - who apparently worked with Eastman to develop the plot and spoke out on Thursday in support of it.

Former Pence legal counsel Greg Jacob described at Thursday's hearing Eastman's scheme for Pence, during the January 6, 2021, joint session of Congress to count Electoral College votes, to either reject the votes from some states outright or send them back to their state legislatures for review.  According to Jacob, during one meeting in which Eastman sought to pressure Pence to participate, the Trump lawyer acknowledged that the plot was illegal.  The committee also aired video testimonies of other Trump aides saying that they had told Trump the plan was illegal, and produced an email from after the riot in which Eastman sought a presidential pardon.

    That covers the first three paragraphs of the news story (which I think of an a propaganda piece).  The story about what Pence was told or not told to do is distorted, and Mark Levin has on his radio show noted how nothing done by Donald J. Trump about the electoral process was illegal (and you can learn more about that by listening to replays of Mark Levin's show), and I will not go into details of why things were not illegal.  My purpose is to show how Media Matters worked to sell a lie--some type of "plot"--and tie Mark Levin to the lie or plot.  Another line in the story (related to Mark Levin's appearance on Sean Hannity's television show) was--"...Neither Levin nor Sean Hannity noted that Levin was not just a commentator who supported Eastman's plot, but apparently an active participant in its development...."

    Hey, did your favorite television newscast cover the story that is the focus of this paragraph and related paragraphs that are quoted?  Look at the opening parts of a story called "Group associated with Stephen Colbert arrested and charged with unlawful entry at Capitol" from The Washington Examiner of June 17, 2022 (at 09:07 p.m.). and the authors listed were Daniel Chatlin, Jerry Dunleavy, and Juliegrace Brufke:

People associated with Stephen Colbert's late-night comedy show were arrested on the U.S. Capitol grounds on Thursdays night, according to GOP sources.

Members of the group, initially on location around the time of a Jan. 6 committee hearing, were charged with unlawful entry and released after they were found in Longworth House Office Building after it closed to the public, the Washington Examiner has learned.  The Capitol Police did not identify who was arrested but did acknowledge charge.

"On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building," Capitol Police said in a statement obtained by the Washington Examine.  "Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway."

"The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day," the statement added.  "They were charged with Unlawful Entry.  This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney."

    People tied to the so-called breakthrough of the barriers of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, spent or have spent many, many days in custody of police, and yet the seven tied to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert were quickly released, though an active investigation was yet underway.  A smart and good person has to wonder if the seven were working to have an insurrection of some type.  People at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were not armed with guns and such, and the seven persons tied to Stephen Colbert were not armed, but the seven could have been hoping to complete some nefarious mission, and yet they were not held beyond a very short time.

    After June 13, 2022, more hearings were televised, and some of the hearings were on June 16, 2022, June 21, 2022, and June 23, 2022, and the Select Committee used the televised hearings to convince the American public of a number of things.  For one, the committee tried to show that U.S. President Donald J. Trump wanted to replace the U.S. Attorney General during Donald J. Trump's time as the president so that U.S. President Donald J. Trump could more easily sell the theme of corruption in the election.  In addition, more was designed to show that "Trump summoned a violent mob and directed them, illegally, to march on the U.S. Capitol".  It all was bullshit and a waste of taxpayer money!

    On June 27, 2022, people heard information (such as in newscasts of radio stations), which were actually news stories but sounded like promos, that there was going to be a special extra meeting of the "Select Committee" on June 28, 2022, and people were hearing that the committee had a new "surprise witness" (though it would be learned later that the witness had already been interviewed four separate times by the Select Committee since July 2021).  June 28, 2022, was almost one year after the investigation by the committee had started in earnest, and since the so-called investigation had started, the committee had interviewed countless so-called witnesses (witnesses to what?) and had gathered reams and reams of paper with words (so-called testimony). Yet, on June 27, 2022, it was being pushed out that a new witness--the name of whom was not reported--had something new to say on June 28, 2022, starting at 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time).  To a good and honest person, the promo seemed to be nothing but more fluff and sideshow and shallow propaganda.

    At 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on June 28, 2022, I turned on a television set and put the dial to the NBC-TV affiliate in the area where I was; by the way, I had just come in from outside where I had been working, such as doing a little painting, and where I had gotten two ticks [Note: It is the biggest tick season in my area than I have seen in fifteen years.].  But NBC-TV started airing a soap opera (which surprised me, given NBC-TV is a communistic network), so I turned to ABC-TV, and there was the introduction to the television sideshow hearing.  CBS-TV also started up coverage of the television nonsense at ten in the morning.  The Fox-TV affiliate in my area was carrying a syndicated show (The People's Court, which was probably going to be more useful than the so-called hearing by the Select Committee was going to be).  I do not have cable service.  I went back to ABC-TV, which had noted that Cassidy Hutchinson (a woman) was going to be the "key witness" on the day.  U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson was the first speaker for the committee, and Bennie Thompson spouted the same often-passed-along overview stuff about this and that related to January 6, 2021.  Then, U.S. Representative Liz Cheney ran off some more overview stuff, probably stuff heard dozens of times on television in recent days.  Liz Cheney worked to sell the idea that Cassidy Hutchinson did work in the White House (the building) for at least a little time while Donald J. Trump was the U.S. president, and Bennie Thompson noted that Cassidy Hutchinson was, for example, in the unit related to Legislative Affairs.  The committee (particularly Bennie Thompson) showed photographs of Cassidy Hutchinson with people of the White House some time ago, which I found to be useless information, and Cassidy Hutchinson's first words were about what she did while at the White House, such as having the job of doing outreach with members of the U.S. Congress, and she talked about her typical day on duty.  The first real theme was about Cassidy Hutchinson's knowledge of Rudy Guliani meeting with Mark Meadows on January 2, 2021.  Cassidy Hutchinson's passed along the idea that Mark Meadows noted that "Things might get real, real bad on January 6.". Cassidy Hutchinson talked about being "scared" about what might happen on January 6.  A clip of Cassidy Hutchinson of the recent past had notes about her talking about a guy name John Radcliffe, who thought continuing with the election-fraud theme was "...dangerous for the President's legacy....".  Cassidy Hutchinson passed along the idea in a recording or clip (related to her giving testimony to the Select Committee at some other time) that there was no "significant evidence" about election fraud.  The committee pushed out the idea that there was a "potential for trouble" if a rally was held, but the committee pushed along no statement that noted the the White House (U.S. President Donald J. Trump) had offered National Guard persons to U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, so Cassidy Hutchinson's information about potential trouble only meant that the White House was aware trouble could show up on January 6, 2022 [Note: I report that any time a big event goes on, such as a rally, some trouble could show up, so plans are usually taken to be ready for trouble.].  Cassidy Hutchinson noted that the FBI had reports on January 5, 2021, that some potential rally people seemed to be getting ready to have weapons on January 6, 2021.  Given that information about possible weapons on January 6, 2021, a person has to wonder why U.S. Representative refused to have National Guard people at the White House on January 6, 2021 [Note: I wonder if Nancy Pelosi was already thinking about, if any trouble happened, she could start a plot to make it look as if U.S. President Donald J. Trump was involved and did work to incite a riot against the government so that she could help, for example, put him in prison.].  Cassidy Hutchinson's information about possible armed people actually hurt U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and not U.S. President Donald J. Trump.  By the way, no one arrested at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, had a gun, and the only person shot with a gun was an unarmed woman, and the shooter was a police officer, who shot the woman in the neck.  Really, Cassidy Hutchinson's overall information for the Select Committee noted that a problem could show up at the rally, though she said nothing that hinted that the trouble would actually involve the U.S. Capitol [Note: Remember, anyway, the speech and rally by U.S. President Donald J. Trump was some distance from the U.S. Capitol.].  By the way, it is commonplace for security to be present or beefed up anytime there is a public rally held somewhere, and it is commonplace for an entity hoping to have a rally to get a permit or a license to hold the event, and, for example, events like concerts often have stepped up security, such as a concert at the Pine Knob of the Detroit-Metropolitan area of Michigan (which returned to the original name this year and which dropped the most recently known name, DTE Energy Music Theatre).  By 1:36 p.m. (Detroit Time) on June 28, 2022, I found the material from Cassidy Hutchinson to be a lot of nothing, and it was at about the time when Liz Cheney pushed along a cut-down version about what U.S. President Donald J. Trump urged people at the rally site to do--"...walk down to the Capitol...." [Note: The clip did not tell the full story of what U.S. President Donald J. Trump urged people to do, so it was select editing again.].  In essence, next, Cassidy Hutchinson noted that Mark Meadows seemed to have a "lack of reaction" in relation to the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that information was nothing more than emotional filler, and Liz Cheney tried to sell the idea that the White House was in no rush to do something to quell the violence at the U.S. Capitol, which--I say--was the job of U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and the head of security at the U.S. Capitol.  At 1:45 p.m. (Detroit time) on June 28, 2022, I was getting restless with the little-girl Cassidy Hutchinson stuff, bored with the nothing that was being presented on television.  Through Liz Cheney, it was noted that U.S. President Donald J. Trump said to aides that he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol after the rally, and the Select Committee played clips of aides (in recorded interviews of the past) noting that U.S. President Donald J. Trump told them that he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol.  That is evidence that shows nothing more than U.S. Donald J. Trump--before the rally took place--had the urge to go to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, after the rally  had finished.  That is no evidence that U.S. President Donald J. Trump wanted to incite a riot at the U.S. Capitol.  In addition, it was noted by the Select Committee that security (such as the Secret Service) had to scramble to come up with a way to do security for U.S. President Donald J. Trump if he were to go, such as by walking, to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.  Once the speech at the rally site had concluded on January 6, 2021, the Secret Service told U.S. President Donald J. Trump (such as while in the motorcade) that he would not be going to the U.S. Capitol, and it was noted that there were not enough "assets" to do security at the White House [Note: I have more about this incident in an upcoming "note" portion.].  Cassidy Hutchinson noted in her testimony that U.S. President Donald J. Trump (using some swear words) said that he was the U.S. president and he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol.  Who cares if U.S. Donald J. Trump used "swear" stuff?  Real men do to do that!  Piss-ass boys do not.  [How did Cassidy Hutchinson know U.S. President Donald J. Trump did some swear stuff?]  On June 28, 2022, it looks as if the Select Committee wanted to push the idea that U.S. President Donald J. Trump spoke like a slob or the like, using swear words.  But that is no evidence of anything related to inciting or not inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol.  At 1:58 p.m. (Detroit time) on June 28, 2022, I was really eager to shut off the television set and go do something else, such as sit out in a screen house on beach of Lake Huron, but, then, it was a little cloudy, and it seemed unlikely there would be a bunch of bikini gals walking by, but there never are any bikini gals walking by.  At 2:02 p.m. (Detroit time) on June 28, 2022, Bennie Thompson closed the session, announcing a ten-minute break, and I turned off the television, thinking it was all more crap television.  And I had no plans to see any more of the crap from Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney, and the others of the Select Committee that day.
    [Note: And now I come to later in the day of June 28, 2022, and it relates to a time period covering about 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Detroit time) when I was driving from a small city to my rural residence and when I was listening to The Mark Levin Show (a nationally distributed radio show hosted by Mr. Mark R. Levin).  During the time period, Mark Levin interviewed a man named Kash Patel, who, for example, was in the Oval Office on January 4, 2021, when U.S. President Donald J. Trump set in motion the offer of up to 20,000 National Guard staffers to the U.S. Capitol, and Kash Patel (who had been the chief of staff to the acting U.S. Secretary of Defense under U.S. President Donald J. Trump) reported that five persons were with U.S. President Donald J. Trump on January 4, 2021, when the offer was set in motion, and Kash Patel was one of the persons, and Cassidy Hutchinson was not in the Oval Office at any time.  In addition, Mark Levin and Kash Patel got on the subject of U.S. President Donald J. Trump's so-called grabbing the wheel in the limousine and grabbing a Secret Service staffer during the time that the limousine was leaving the site of the rally on January 6, 2021, and it had been Cassidy Hutchinson's story that U.S. President Donald J. Trump grabbed the security guy and tried to grab the wheel of the limousine.  Kash Patel reported that, because of how the vehicle was and is set up, there is no way U.S. President Donald J. Trump could have, for example, grabbed the driver of the vehicle or could have grabbed the wheel of the vehicle--it is not possible.  Cassidy Hutchinson's story also could not have been first-hand information--and could only be considered hearsay information--since Cassidy Hutchinson was not in the limousine taking U.S. President Donald J. Trump away from the rally site.  In addition, Mark R. Levin reported on his radio show, such as during the time with Kash Patel, that MSN published a story (on June 28, 2022) that noted that two security staffers (Secret Service staffers) in the limousine--particularly the driver and Bobby Engel (the lead security man in the vehicle) on January 6, 2021, with U.S. President Donald J. Trump--are willing to testify that at no time did U.S. President Donald J. Trump, for example, ever assault either or them or grab the wheel of the limousine [Richman, Jackson.  "Secret Service Is Reportedly Prepared to Testify Trump Didn't Try to Commandeer Limo on Jan. 6, Despite Hutchinson Account."  msn.com, 28 June 2022], and the story actually reported both ABC News (such as Pierre Thomas) and NBC News (such as Peter Alexander) had information that noted the the Secret Service guys were willing to testify under oath and refute Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the Select Committee, such as on June 28, 2022.  It must be noted that the Select Committee did not call the two security men to any hearing to give testimony, and that is more proof the work of the Select Committee was and is one-sided and crap.]

    And that covers the television event or television events related to the "Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol" for June 2022.  I did not see all that the "Select Committee" offered up on television, and I feel there was no real for me to see all.  Based on the parts that I saw, I can say that the overall presentation was from the minds of evil people and from people who are enemies of the good people of the United States of America--people who do not submit or support communists and socialists and progressives and liberals, all of whom are enslavists.
    [Note: I have to add a section that shows some of the crap that was pushed by the media in June 2022, particularly by the Detroit Free Press, a communistic newspaper.  I have shown that, by June 13, 2022, the Select Committee had shown nothing and had nothing that suggested some big seven-part plan took place or existed and that Donald J. Trump pushed for a riot.  Yet, on June 13, 2022, the Detroit Free Press published a story called "Panel says evidence enough for indictment" [Yen, Hope.  "Panel says evidence enough for indictment." Detroit Free Press, 13 june 2022, p. 9A.].  The article opened with--"WASHINGTON - Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.  The committee announced that Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among the witnesses scheduled to testify at a hearing Monday that focuses on Trump's effort to spread his lies about a stolen election.  'I would like to see the Justice Department investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump,' said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, a committee member who also leads the House Intelligence Committee....".  Hey, there was that Adam Schiff with nonsense again.  Later, the article had--"...'We're not going to make accusations or say things without proof or evidence backing it,' said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Illinois....".  Where is the evidence?   I do have to note that, on June 22, 2022, the Detroit Free Press published a story called "Poll: 58% say Trump should be charged", which had "60% say committee conducting fair inquiry" as a subtitle [Nzanga, Merdie.  "Poll: 58% say Trump should be charged." Detroit Free Press, 22 June 2022, p. 7A.].  The article showed how the rottenness from the Select Committee and the Democratic Party was being viewed, and, in a way, it showed the rottenness of many Americans.  The article began with--"WASHINGTON - Nearly 6 out of 10 Americans want former President Donald Trump criminally charged in connection with the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, an ABC News/Ipsos poll shows.  The poll found 58% of Americans say Trump should face criminal charges for the role he played in the riot, a higher percentage than in late April, when it was 52% in an ABC News/Washington Post poll.  By party, the poll found that 91% of Democrats say the former president should be criminally charged, compared with 19% of Republicans.  Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating the riot on Jan. 6, said Sunday on ABC News' 'This Week' that Trump is guilty of knowing what he did leading up to the attack.  'Obviously, you know we're not a criminal charges committee, so I want to be careful in specifically using that language,' Kinzinger said.  He said he thinks what the committee is 'presenting before the American people certainly would rise to a level of criminal involvement by a president and definitely failure of the oath.'....".  (Hey, what the heck does "guilty of knowing what he did" mean?)  The article had later--"...A majority of those surveyed - 60% say they believe the Jan. 6 committee is 'conducting a fair and impartial investigation,' up from 40% in April....".  Polls are often used to persuade idiots to support something, simply to be part of the group, and it can be argued well by me that the article with the poll information worked to persuade people reading it to join in with the group that wants criminal charges, though there is no evidence that any criminal charges should be filed about anything.  In addition, polls can also be suspect, given the pollsters can do surveys with knowledge in mind about where they are very likely to get the responses that they want to find and then show.  However, I do say that the idea that many Americans think the investigation event is "impartial" is worrisome, when the Select Committee is clearly not impartial, as I have shown in this document.]

    [Note: The material that exists in this document about the "Select Committee" television event exists in another document, which lacks all the material in this document that is not related to the "Select Committee," and that document can be reached through this Television Spectacular link.]

  Announcement for the novice again (reworked in March 2019): To get useful television-delivered news or Internet-delivered news, try Breitbart News Network (the history of which goes back to 2007), WorldNetDaily.com, Newsmax TV (which was started up in 2014), CNS News (which is on the Internet and which was launched on June 16, 1998), and One America News Network (a.k.a. OAN), since the entities do not blindly support Barack Obama-type people (communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Shariaists), as do CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV (Note: To learn about bad journalism, you might tune in to CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV from time to time to see how they differ from the better places mentioned).  I note that the Fox News Channel is evolving into a rotten channel, becoming like those that I have put down in this paragraph.  If you are unclear of my intentions, I say in different words that you should boycott CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV and even now much of what is on the Fox News Channel and hope they lose more ratings and advertising revenues, since they are expendable, and it is time for you to find the guts to be mean and heartless and cancel them--since they are hurting you.  In 2019, "The Drudge Report" was sold, and it should be treated as suspect for now.   [Note: Everyone in the Democratic Party in the country is rotten, and the Republican Party establishment has shown itself to be socialistic and communistic within the last few years, and only a few of the rotten people tied to the Republican Party are U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.]
    [Note: Here is an example of Chris Christie's rottenness.  On Sunday, February 6, 2022, Chris Christie was a guest on This Week with George Stephanopoulos (of ABC-TV), which had Martha Raddatz as the host, and Christ Christie pushed out crap.  For example, Chris Christie said--"...And let's face it.  Let's call it what it is.  January 6 was a riot that was incited by Donald Trump...an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week--overturn the election.  And he's trying to do a cleanup on aisle one here...." and "...He actually told the truth by accident.  He wanted the election to be overturned....".  That is bullshit!]

    Here we go again with the problems that I have from other people doing television history, and, for one, I have to knock down stuff that is available through Wikipedia, which probably has been spread to others.  In February 2022, I came across a webpage about The Bigelow Theatre on Wikipedia.  Things in it did not seem correct.  So I did research in old newspapers and such, I can say that a lot in the article was defective at that time with Wikipedia.  The story is about The Bigelow Theater, and the title comes from a company that made carpets and rugs in, for example, the 1940s and 1950s, and the company was Bigelow and even Bigelow-Sanford.  In the 1940s, the company had a weekly show on network television called The Bigelow Show, and it ran from October 1948 to July 1949 by NBC-TV and from October 1949 to December 1949 on CBS-TV.  That show is not The Bigelow Theater.  Before I get to The Bigelow Theater, I have to talk about The Silver Theater.  On October 3, 1949, the CBS-TV network began to run The Silver Theater, which was sponsored by International Silver, on Mondays at 8:00 p.m., and the show would be on at 8:00 p.m. on Monday till the end on June 1950.  At first, the episodes were aired live out of New York City, New York, and the first episode was called "L'Amour the Merrier". Variety (the national entertainment trade magazine) gave the show a great review, and, in fact, one line of the review was--"...The preem was solid in every department....".  That means the acting was good and the writing was good and the technical stuff was good.  The main performers in the program were Burgess Meredith and Eva Gabor, the latter of whom would be a regular on a now-super-famous series called Green Acres.  Some of the performers in the next few months of episodes were Faye Emerson, John Payne, Kim Hunter, Henry Morgan, and Clem Bevans, and there were a bunch whom you would not know.  On April 3, 1950, the series turned into a filmed series, and the first episode was called "Coals of Fire" (which had such performers as Carol Thurston and Bill Erwin); the episode had been made in the studios for Jerry Fairbanks Inc. in California.  By the way, for this season, the episodes were always broadcast one week later in the western region of the country, since the national telephone lines for live broadcasting and such between (1) the East and the Midwest and (2) the West had yet to be set down (which would not happen till September 1951); the episodes shown in the West were first Kinescope films and then regular films.  Between April 1950 and June 1950, the weekly programs of The Silver Show were on film (not Kinescope film).  Here are parts of the article about The Bigelow Theater on Wikipedia--"The Bigelow Theatre (also known as Bigelow-Sanford Theater and as Hollywood Half Hour and Marquee Theater in syndication) is an American anthology series originally broadcast on CBS Television and on the DuMont Television Network...." and "The series aired on CBS on Sunday nights at 6pm EST from December 10, 1950, to June 3, 1951...." and "...After the series ended on CBS, the show was retitled The Bigelow-Sanford Theatre and aired on DuMont on Thursdays at 10pm EST from September 6 through December 27, 1951.....".  Okay, that little bit is a big mess.  In the fall of 1950, the series did not show up as a show distributed by CBS-TV.  Actually, the first episodes that I found did show up in December 1950, and, so far, the first airing that I could find was on WFBM-TV for Thursday, December 7, 1950, at 7:00 p.m..  The series was being syndicated!  I found through old newspapers that, between December 1950 and about June 1951, the show aired on various days and at various times on stations around the country.  If the series would have been on CBS-TV, the days and times would have been consistent (all would have had Sundays as the air days, for example).  On Sunday, December 10, 1950, a station in Cincinnati aired the program at 6:30 p.m. and a station in Philadelphia aired the program at 6:00 p.m..  The series did not air in the Detroit area or the Chicago area between December 1950 and June 1951, and both areas are big markets.  In the collection of episodes for The Bigelow Theater were some episodes that had been aired late in the 1949-1950 season of The Silver Theater.  In the summer of 1951, some new episodes for The Bigelow Theater were made by Jerry Fairbanks and his crew, and, in the fall of 1951, the second season of The Bigelow Theater show up, and the season ran from September 1951 through December 1951.  I have to note that, while doing research about the series, I once again looked at the 1951-1952 broadcast season chart for the broadcast networks that was on Wikipedia, and it noted that The Bigelow Theater was pushed out to affiliates by the DuMont Television Network at 10:00 p.m. (for the East and Midwest) on Thursdays.  That is a problem.  Once again, based on old newspapers, stations aired the program at all sorts of different times and days between September 1951 and December 1951.  However, I found that WABD-TV, which was owned by the DuMont Television Network and was considered the "flagship" station of the network, did air the program on Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. between September 1951 and December 1951.  That does not mean that the program was DuMont Television Network showing.  It seems someone has inferred that, since the program was on WABD-TV (New York City) the DuMont Television Network was feeding out the program or programs to affiliates.  Of course, maybe, the show was getting a network feed and almost no affiliates picked it up.  Then, why did so many stations around the country have the series, airing it at all sorts of times?  There is no consistency in time or day to prove the show was a network show.  If it was pushed out by DuMont, I do not define it as a network show, since the syndication process was too evident.  Later, for the fall of 1952, Bigelow was no longer tied to the programs (the episodes), and for the fall of 1952, episodes that had been on The Silver Theater or The Bigelow Theater were once again in syndication for another round, and this time, the shows were syndicated under the title Hollywood Half Hour.  I went searching for Bigelow-Sanford Theater in television program listings in old newspapers, and there are almost no listings for that title (I found two).  Maybe, Bigelow-Sanford Theater was used, but it seems unlikely, given, for one, the "Bigelow" and "Sanford" parts had come together through merger several decades previously.  I also went looking for the name Marquee Theater as an umbrella title used in syndication for the series, such as from 1952 to 1960.  In around 1957, a television station known as Channel 3 (for viewers in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) was using Marquee Theater as an umbrella title to show episodes of several series from the past, and I found that some of the episodes were episodes of, for example, The Bigelow Theater.  But Marquee Theater with episodes tied to The Silver Theater (of CBS-TV) or The Bigelow Theater did not show up in television listings all over the country, hinting at the idea that Marquee Theater was not a title pushed out by a syndicator or syndicating company.  The episode of The Bigelow Theater that is entitled "Mechanic on Duty" is available on YouTube.  In that episode, you will find Gale Storm playing Jo and Gene Raymond playing Fred, and you will notice that the program was made by Jerry Fairbanks, Inc..  And, for the record, I report that The Bigelow Theater did not air on any station in the Detroit area, but, in the summer of 1953, starting in June 1953, WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, did run episodes of Hollywood Half Hour.

    It is time to look at TV Guide (the famous magazine).  The publication began to be published in 1953, the year in which I was born, and it was a weekly publication (and sort of a paper of record about television).  In 1981, I began to be a subscriber to TV Guide, which was still a weekly publication.  In 2005, the publication was change from a book-like magazine to a standard-looking news-stand magazine, and in 2006, the publication became a two-week publication.  By the way, I am passing over a lot of history related to how the magazine changed over the recent decades.  On June 13, 2022, another big change happened.  The first "triple-issue" was released, and it covered listings (a shallow presentation) for three weeks, covering from Monday, May 23, 2022, through Sunday, June 12, 2022.  Like potato chip bags, TV Guide has gone through downsizing over the last two decades or so.  I wonder when TV Guide will finally become a monthly, offering only 12 issues a year, which certainly will make it far from a "paper of record" anymore and forevermore (given an issue will be put together, in some cases, five or six or more weeks before the final day listed in the issue, and, for example, networks could make all types of changes before the final day actually shows up).

    Announcement: Recently, I have added some new documents to the collection of my documents at the website for The Hologlobe Press.  One of the documents is entitled A Document that Dispels Myths and Nonsense of Science-Fiction Books, Movies, and Television Shows (A Logic Puzzle), which can be reached through this Myths link.  Another document is And So You Think You're Going to the Moon, Mars, or the Stars..., which can be reached by using this Moon link.  And yet another of the documents is entitled And the Stupid Women Shall Lead--and Lead Every Good Individual into Shit, Driven on by Communism, Feminism, and Defective Female Beliefs and Little-Girl Thinking, which can be reached through this Stupid Women link.  And here are other documents--A Review of What Television Controlled by Socialists and Communists Worked to Sell as Truth in Relation to the U.S. President Donald J. Trump Impeachment (at Impeachment) and T.H.A.T. Special Edition--The First Helicopter-based Traffic Reporters on Radio for the Detroit area of Michigan (at Helicopter Traffic).

    For the most part, those involved in television news in the Detroit area (at least) provide useless information, and, really, the newscasters of today are throwaway people, especially Devin "Cuba Lover" Scillian (of WDIV-TV, Detroit), and I can show one piece of proof, and that is that none of the news boys and girls of the Detroit-based television stations probably covered the main theme of this paragraph.  By the way, WWJ-TV, Channel 62, will soon air a locally based newscasts--more useless so-called news.  On May 5, 2022, the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a press release called "USDA Promotes Program Access, Combats Discrimination Against LGBTQI+ Community", and it shows the rottenness of the entity and the Joseph Biden administration, and, for one, it implied that, schools that do not follow new guidelines, will not get funding for food programs (such as lunch programs).  Incidentally, I have always thought that it is not the work of government to feed the children of the country--the government is not a parent for a child or should not become like a parent--but that is what you get from evil people--socialists and communists and progressives, who want the government to be mother and father to children so that children can be made slaves of the government, especially the blacks.  Look at parts of the text of the press release, and see how the structure comes off as that from freaks--"...As a result, state and local agencies, program operators and sponsors that receive funds from FNS must investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.  Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibition against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.  Nutrition disparities negatively impact health, productivity  and overall well-being for too many in the U.S. [.]  FNS recognizes that equitable nutrition assistance means that every American - regardless of identity or background - can access the food they need to thrive.  Historically, the LGBTQI+ community has faced striking economic and social disparities, such as higher rates of poverty, unemployment and nutrition insecurity.  For example, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, more than 13% of LGBTQ respondents lived in a household that experienced food insecurity, compared to 7.2% of non-LGBTQ adult respondents.  This survey also found food insufficiency - not always having enough food to eat - to be three times as common among transgender individuals (nearly 34% of respondents) as compared to cisgender individuals (8.3% of respondents)....".  The material is crap and bullshit, and the writing style is bad-government jargon and pseudo-intellectual shit.  What person talks in such a way as that presented in the text?  A crappy and evil person puts together such thought!  "Food insecurity" and "food insufficiency"--these sets of words that come from pushers of nonsense thinking!  And I do not buy such crap as the statistics and "...Historically, the LGBTQI+ community has faced striking economic and social disparities, such as higher rates of poverty, unemployment and nutrition insecurity....".  Where is the research on that--covering years and decades?  There is none!

    And now it is time for from television reviews.  On Sunday, June 3, 2022, Fox TV broadcast the championship game for the United States Football League, featuring Philadelphia and Birmingham, the latter of which would win the game.  The game--though not an NFL event with so-called the possible greatest football players of the world--was a good game to watch, and some the players came off a very pleasant in sideline interviews conducted by Brock Huard.  By the way, Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt were the announcers for the game.  A big note of good--if not great--came the work of Ms. Felita LaRock, who sang "The National Anthem", Ms. Felita LaRock is a retired technical sergeant for the U.S. Air Force.  Felita LaRock sang the song well--very well.  And she had no backing music.  From Felita LaRock, I heard no bad notes (the theme of which I will soon cover more).  On Monday, June 4, 2022, PBS once again broadcast--live--another A Capitol Fourth presentation.  I watched the opening of the event with a friend, and that friend noted she only knew two of the names of the upcoming performers.  The first song presented, which was "The National Anthem", was sung by Mickey Guyton, a gal who was hosting the show.  One bad note from Mickey Guyton was tied to the word "free" of near the end of the song.  It is not that the note was not the right note, but something in her voice gave the note ("free") a bad sound to my ear.  In addition, unlike Felita LaRock, Mickey Guyton gave the song some voice affectations [and I use that word, lacking of a better description].  Some other problems with the program came with Darren Criss, who does not have a good singing voice, and his version of "All You Need Is Love" was bad.  Keb Mo' did a flat presentation of "Lean on Me", and he had at least one bad note, that related to a word that I can report here, since I was washing a pan (related to dinner) when Keb Mo' made the bad note.  Emily Bear did a piano version of "The Stars and Strips Forever", and that did not work well.  "Ya all"--this was often said by Mickey Guyton, who came off as a teenage girl and only a B-type host [Note: I have gotten tired of B-grade hosts always asking the audience something like--"Are you having a good time?"--more than once for filler.].  Yolanda Adams came off as a "yeller" instead of a singer.  "Some how"--this set of words sung by Cynthia Erivo (in relation to a song from West Side Story) came off a bad in my ear at least once [Note: Why was Cynthia Erivo, who calls herself bi-sexual and queer, on the program, since Cynthia Erivo is British and is not an American?].  That is enough of that.  The winner of the singing contest was and is Ms. Felita LaRock, singing a song that is considered hard to sing!

    And I have another television review.  At 9:00 p.m. on June 5, 2022, I happened to be exposed for the first time to a showing of "The Great Electric Airplane Race" (an episode of Nova), which was shown on the Michigan Learning Channel and which had originally been presented on PBS in May 2021.  The show had three producers, one of whom was Miles O'Brien, who was also the narrator, director, and writer.  When I caught the opening minutes, I knew I was seeing a program that had the underlying job of pushing the communistic climate crisis crap.  There was the pitch that the world is in the "climate emergency," which I heard several times (beginning with the opening kicker, offer before the title was shown).  Given Miles O'Brien sounded like a communist and a fool, I turned off the television set, though I might learn a little about somewhat new helicopter-like units based on electricity.  If everything becomes electric and if the no coal or gas or oil or nuclear material is used to make electricity, where is the enough electricity going to come from to run everything?  [Maybe the electricity will come from 10-billion wind turbines or a 100-billion wind turbines dotting every corner of the country--to the point where you cannot look out on the flat lands and the hills and the water and not see a wind turbine.]

    Remember: The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan was a television show that was produced across the pond and shown on CBS-TV in the late 1960s, and I urge you to find The Prisoner on DVD, maybe from a library, and watch it, and you should show it--all the episodes--to teenagers, or buy it as a present for teenagers.

 
Stay well!

    P.S.: You are urged to see my document entitled One of "The Rules of Man"--A Rule About Health Care that No Politician May Supersede with Law, which can be reached through this Rule1 link.  I have deduced that all the Democrats and most Republicans support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and have no intention of killing it, though it should be killed for violating, for one, "The Rules of Man."  For example, Republicans Jeb Bush and Chris Christie support the rotten law, and that is one reason that I define them as stupid men and not men who are good enough--in this day and age--to be the U.S. President.  I note that the "mandate"--which forces everyone to buy government-approved health-care insurance--violates one of "The Rules of Man," and it is a rule that is attacked in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.  Anyone who supports the "mandate" is not a good enough person or a smart enough person to be the U.S. president--the mandate is "enslavism," and the "mandate" allows government people--who are often usually bad people, as history shows--decide what health care a person can get, and that is bad.
