CNN broadcast a live production of the play "Good Night & Good Luck" starring George Clooney as Edward R. Murrow. While the production was praised for its technical quality, the ending was criticized for including a montage that linked historical events to modern political issues like COVID-19 and January 6th. The segment is viewed as a form of preemptive damage control for the current political establishment.

During a PBS NewsHour segment, commentators David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart mocked the decision to give Tucker Carlson exclusive access to Capitol security tapes. Brooks sarcastically referred to Carlson as the "Edward R. Murrow of our day," arguing that giving public records to a single news organization is "bizarre" and violates standard transparency rules. The discussion highlighted the deep divide between mainstream media figures and the Fox News host's investigative methods.
