Premise

This book catalogs 42 unedited images extracted from two Fox News websites. All images relate to a major public event that supported

American President Donald Trump. I refer to the rally at Capitol Hill in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. This writer was present at

the rally. He arrived 45 minutes prior to President Trump’s speech. He rotated in the vicinity of the DC Ellipse – Capitol Hill Congress

building for around 90 minutes after President Trump’s speech. His viewpoint about pages 2 to 42 of this book appears on page 43.

This volume aims to guide readers to freely consider questions about these Fox News images and text boxes (that appear below each

image) as they navigate this book. Please consider questions raised by this author in addition to your own queries and observations.

This book’s cover page may contain images and text that reflect this author’s well-intentioned strong opinions. This is the nature of

his free book series. I invite intelligent, free-thinking persons like you to filter other people’s flaws as you act to draw your own

conclusions. Accidental and purposeful omissions are examples of a news report pitfall. Omission of key facts is a popular technique

used by those who push a hidden agenda. We can never accuse a person of lying merely because they have concealed key information.

The number of attendees at the Trump rally was in the hundreds of thousands of persons by 11am. This noose was not visible when
this writer was standing in this exact location at around 11 am on January 6, 2021. This writer speculates that this structure was
deemed inappropriate by the masses of supporters after they arrived between circa 9 am and 11am. It was likely dismantled.

Is there a legitimate role for journalists to make speculative comments such as the one offered above?

Witness

I estimate that hundreds of thousands of civilians attended the pro Donald Trump rally on January 6, 2021. When this writer arrived

at the rally, the closest that he could get to the front row was about 30 meters in front of the DC Ellipse. In other words, about 90% of

the crowd were standing in front of my location. Most of these loyal supporters must have arrived two hours or more prior to the time

that I arrived at 11am. The crowd was thick. People needed to walk slowly (less than half normal speed) and in a constant zig zag line

to navigate their way around this crowd. As far as this author can gauge, the crowd size was about 90% of the capacity of a Presidential

inauguration. During the three hours that I was present, I did not witness any violent acts between rally attendees. The demographic

was diverse. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly relaxed and cheerful – a subjective assessment. I witnessed two minor events

during the hour or so that I was in immediate proximity of the Capitol Hill precinct. One person kicked a portable steel barricade. This

structure shifted position by about six inches. Another civilian repeatedly tried to shake open a backdoor that offered access to

Congress. His force was above average, though hardly excessive, given his 6 feet, 330 pounds ‘man mountain’ frame. Neither persons

involved in these events identified themselves as ‘Trump supporters’. I argue that Fox News grossly distort the overall atmosphere

and actions that transpired at this rally. The 50 or so people who entered Capitol Hill – with or without insider assistance, account for

less than 0.01% of civilians who attended this rally. Sly Fox remains firmly in the realm of fake news filth. J Jericho
