I think they're aware how little their contrition counts for now, looks like they're just regretting the consequences of their own actions now they've realized what they've destroyed and how it isn't coming back.
Her apology also comes with many conditions and caveats.
She still doesn't believe Tucker Carlson's version of events.
She refuses to believe that J6 was "mostly peaceful chaos".
She still calls J6 protesters "violent" who "violently entered the Capitol".
She still wants these "violent" trespassers prosecuted to the fullest ability of the law.
She has more criticism of Tucker Carlson in her "apology" than Chuck Schumer or the J6 committee.
She still pretends the Capitol is some sacred place where plebs shouldn't tread.
The "apology" is bait to try to get people to agree with her version of events but pretend to acknowledge the actual events.
This whole thing is a good reminder, to everyone, to check their biases before they start shooting their mouth off.
I'm not a fan of Tucker and he's made exagerated and unfounded claims before. However, while I don't take my talking points from him, I'm grateful that he's release the raw footage so that everyone can draw their own conclusions from objective facts.
That's what the news media is supposed to do: report the facts. Once upon a time, their bandwidth was so limited that they could only show the bits and pieces they felt were important.
Today? There's no reason CNN can't link, or even host, every piece of video from Jan 6.
Why are you "they"-ing this woman?
She's not the only one like this, he's speaking of the whole set.
This
That, or fix it?
I'm willing to accept this apology so long as she's willing to make restitution.
We need leftists to call out media like they used to. That's kinda what they're for; to oppose cartels and capitalism gone too far. Instead, for the last decade, they've been cheerleading megacorps for pushing their message and ignoring what's going on behind the scenes.
Let's see her call out the "fact checkers" and every news outlet that pushed lies. If she does that, I'm good.
