The January 6 demonstrations have been pushed hard onto the front pages of every legacy newspaper and TV network in the country.  Except for only a few exceptions, the Left has control of their content.  Because of that, Jan. 6 has long since ceased to show any proportionality.  It has been compared to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, The French Revolution, even the rise of Hitler.
