Topline: an estimated 13.8 million people across 10 platforms

[napscoordinator]

I am surprised so many watched on a work day. Hopefully ratings drop today big time.

[Jonny7797]

None of which were me.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

IF they tuned in, it was only for about 30 seconds, then tuned right back OUT.

The only ones watching this Dog & Pony Show are shut-ins and people trapped in airports. ;)

(Oh, and Rush. And a few strong-stomached FReepers!)

[rktman]

Yeah! Go cut the grass or shovel some snow.

[suthener]

I watched about 15 seconds of it. Enough to hear Schiff ask the ambassador if Giuliani was involved in denying a visa to a Ukrainian. Her answer was “that’s what I was told”. More second hand, no credibility government worker testimony.

Reminder: the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton was not on television (except C-SPAN). Kind of shows you where the press stands.

[Leaning Right]

I’m not surprised by those numbers, as the hearings were on EVERY major channel in my neck of the woods. Blanket coverage. So I tuned into to a retro channel instead (Cozi). Cozi plays old TV shows like Frasier.

I couldn’t believe it. The hearings were on Cozi too!

Somebody really, really wants us to watch those hearings.

[Drango]

Drone on and on...I can’t watch, puts me to sleep.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I am surprised so many watched on a work day.

Hard core Democrat apparatchiks don't have jobs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Somebody really, really wants us to watch those hearings.

My homepage for Yahoo email actually scrapped paying ads in place of a blinking red banner telling me to "go here and watch the Trump impeachment hearings"

[MNJohnnie]

And considering how bad it is blowing up on the Democrat Fascist Party, the same someone really really really hopes all 13.8 million STOP watching so their tame lap dogs in the Fake News can spin it for them instead.

[billyboy15]

“I am surprised so many watched on a work day. Hopefully ratings drop today big time.”

That number is abysmal. Over 19 million watched the Kavanaugh hearings.

[MNJohnnie]

I betting someone is really really wishing they had not done that now that this farce is exploding so badly on the Ds.

[DoughtyOne]

So roughly 4% of the populace thought it worth checking out.

LOL

And of those I suspect most were watching to see how big of fools the democRats would turn into.

[EnglishOnly]

They won’t find my name on the list.

[madison10]

Same here. Doubt if ANYONE I know watched it.

[digger48]

I put the DVR on so I could fast forward past the “witnesses” waving around their bona fides for 4 hours before the questions started

and then jumped over all of the dems theowing out hypotheticals as fact that Schitt had told Republicans weren’t allowed

[digger48]

But.... but.....

MSNBC said this was going to be like the Super Bowl

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah. 13.7 million were in nursing homes and airport bars at the time.

[bigbob]

And how many decided to stop supporting Trump as a result?

How many felt angry at the democrats?
