That every voting American doesn't know the details of exactly how Donald Trump tried to steal the election and that the riot was only a small part of it is a huge failure of our press.

Small nit: it wasn't a riot. But agreed to all of the rest.

It was also an insurrection:

The usual connotation for a riot is that it was unplanned.

The terrorist attack on the Capitol was gamed out for months beforehand.
