Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s live (fake) testimony before Jan. 6 select committee was a TV ratings hit: Nielsen data
Marketwatch via MSN ^ | 7/09/22

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the Jan. 6 committee was a big hit with television viewers, easily reaching a larger live audience than any of the four other daytime hearings.

Hutchinson’s riveting testimony about former President Donald Trump’s temper as plans to overturn the 2020 election fell apart was seen by 13.17 million people last week, the Nielsen company said.

That’s a 28% jump from the 10.25 million who watched the committee’s previous daytime hearing, and 23% over the average from the four daytime hearings held thus far. The committee’s first hearing, the only one televised in prime time, was seen by 19.4 million people.

The committee had hurriedly scheduled a public session to hear Hutchinson’s testimony after expecting to be off until mid-July. Its leaders built up anticipation by trying to keep the identity of its witness a secret in advance.

Given that many people later heard parts of Hutchinson’s testimony online or in news reports, the actual number of people who heard what she said was bigger than the live coverage.

If she had worn a bag over her head, her ratings would have been in the toilet. Unfortunatly, Girls Gone Wild draws a crowd every time.

We are being bombarded with this 24/7 “Orange Man Bad” BS for years, now, and it will probably culminate with “Indictments” for fake non-rebutted hearsay Testimony to “justify” it, just prior to the Mid-Terms. Of course, just like in 2020, Fraud and “Mail-In Ballots” will be used to secure Progressive/RINO wins in the “Election”, and the Deep State will continue in perpetuity, until the next Revolution takes it back.

Funny what passes for a ratings hit these days.

Liar’s testimony represented less than 4% of the American population. Compare this to:

Magnum P.I. Series Finale - “Resolutions” - 32%
Friends Series Finale - “The Last One” - 35.6%
All In The Family - “Edith’s Problem” - 40.7%
Gunsmoke: “Love Thy Neighbor” - 40.9%
The Winds Of War - “Part 7” - 41%
The Cosby Show - “Say Hello To A Good Buy” - 41.3%
Seinfeld Finale - “The Finale” - 41.3%
Bonanza - “The Pure Truth” - 41.6%
Beverly Hillbillies - “The Giant Jack Rabbit” - 44%
Thorn Birds - “Pt. III” - 43.2%
Cheers Series Finale - “One For The Road” - 45.5%
The Fugitive Series Finale - “The Judgment Part 2” - 45.9%
Roots - “Pt. VIII” - 51.1%
Dallas - “Who Done It?” - 53.3%
M*A*S*H Series Finale - “Goodbye, Farewell And Amen” - 60.2%

But from places like CNN, who barely make 0.0006% on average, I guess 3.9% is a ratings blockbuster…

And 3.8% was from the airports.

What? We need even more evidence that propaganda for the masses is effective?

The article is like a big ‘atta boy’ for deep state.

Nothing like a little "context" (your post) to show how a 3.9% rating may be a gaslighting hit, rather than something a lot of people were watching. The "media" in all of its forms is just ridiculous these days - almost nothing even comes close to the 'truth'.

CNN could no longer afford to pay airports to abuse travelers with non-stop CNN, and so ended their bribing.

Our culture is in some trouble.

I hear “Ass 2: Beans and Brew” is coming out next summer. It will probably beat Top Gun.

Maybe this time we'll learn why it was farting.

Gee, I wonder how the first hand testimony of the Secret Service Agents actually involved in the actual non-incident would do . . .

Wow 13.7 million people?

That’s impressive. But that means about 315 million citizens (and probably an additional 80 million illegal aliens) didn’t watch. It also means that only about 18% of the 81 million people that “voted” for FJB watched . . .
