A coalition of major media companies has filed a legal brief in support of former Trump chief White House strategist Steven Bannon as he fights a proposed protective order in court that would keep him from publicizing Jan. 6th documents and information.The media group – which includes CNN, ABC, NBC, plus the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the parent company of the Wall Street Journal – filed a motion to intervene as Bannon's fights the government's proposed order as part of his contempt of Congress case. The order would severely limit what Bannon can do with the trove of information that the feds must share

Bannon must have the documents that make Jan 6th looks like as big a sham as the hillary clinton russian criminal enterprise.

My, my. Getting to the bottom of this faked-up narrative of an "armed insurrection" makes for some odd bedfellows.
Pelosi and her team drove this one out onto the ice - who knows where it will wind up...

Like I said before channeling Elliot Ness when the opposition allies with you: ABC, CNN are in the ledger too.

He seems extremely sure of himself. I have never cared for him at all for years, long before President Trump and him worked together.
But I think he makes things happen. I hope for the best on this situation. It would wonderful to see some actual justice served.

My feelings, as well, #6. These guys despise Bannon as much as they do President Trump, and worked with the Biden regime to cover up the stolen election and to gin up the Jan 6 “insurrection!” What’s up with this? I’m suspicious.

Will Bannon prove the media & the democrat party are the same & show they have the same agendas?

Not going to happen. Demonrats must protect their Jan 6 blather at all costs. Piglousi will see to it.

Bannon and the press have different motives. The press needs the info to generate a plan for attack against Trump, Bannon needs the info to defend himself and support his claims.

The only sense this makes is that if the ruling goes against Bannon the media will be able to say it was a fair decision not one based solely upon the court’s bias against Bannon when, in fact, it will be just that. Are the networks and media providing cover to the Court? I don’t know, nothing that is happening with the courts makes sense. I do fail to see what’s in it for the media. Do they want all this information revealed?

The only reason the MSM is backing Bannon is because they see ratings/circulation. Dollar signs. And once they get their hands on the files they'll do their best to spin them to fit their leftwing narrative.

Steve Bnnon was right...he told the jan 6 commission to stuff it...and he means to follow through...now it seems the fake media is getting nervous what might be exposed...soooo they are cozying up to Bannon...wonder what Steve has in his pocket about collution by the fake media...it's a good lesson for US all...challenge the government edicts and never roll over....

Bannon knows where the bodies are buried. The media also sees what's coming up on the horizon.

Bannon needs to reveal the "secret" documents to defend himself. That's a persuasive case, but courts have all kinds of methods to protect confidentiality, such as "special masters" who access the documents and reveal only so much as is absolutely needed, and the like. The media always want to glom onto anything that is being withheld from them--they're mostly in competition with one another, to see who can be the first to reveal the data in an "exclusive."
In this instance, I support the release of everything, to everyone--and quickly, to prevent Pelosi's gang from rendering judgments based on "secret" data. I oppose star chambers and any judgments they render.
