Scarborough: January 6 Hearings ‘Every Bit as Compelling as Watergate Hearings’
Breitbart ^ | 06/16/2022 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 06/16/2022 7:40:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Thursday touted the House Select Committee’s primetime hearings over the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Scarborough agreed with The Atlantic’s Caitlin Flanigan, who said she was as “riveted” by the hearings as her parents were with the Watergate hearings. The MSNBC host added he didn’t think the American people would care about the hearings but noted that the “numbers have been staggering.”

So I guess I didn’t miss anything by not watching the Watergate Hearings.

He’s citing his base. All 100,000 of them.

What’s the population of the USA again?

“numbers have been staggering..” yes, staggering to keep up with the usual network pap. I believe the ratings have been below regular programming, which means, pathetic.

And, I am starting to realize, just as real. America’s “press” has been fake for longer than most people understand.

“...Caitlin Flanigan, who said she was as “riveted” by the hearings as her parents were with the Watergate hearings.”


That’s certainly what the dems were hoping for. But, at the time, for most of the nation, there was little or no choice but to watch; if you turned on the TV, that was what was on.

From what I’ve heard, Americans stayed away from these hearings in droves. A rerun of ‘Young Sheldon’ got many more viewers.

Now, if they really wanted viewers, they could mount a TV investigation of the Biden family. Broadcast what’s on Hunter’s laptop. Trace money payments going into and out of ‘the Big Guy’s’ bank accounts and show the interesting relationship between the Biden family and shady Ukrainian characters. Something like that would be ‘riveting’.

Joe was about 10 or 11 years old during Watergate. Somehow I don’t think he cared when it happened.

From what I’ve heard, Americans stayed away from these hearings in droves. A rerun of ‘Young Sheldon’ got many more viewers.

And that was even with bringing in ABC producer James Goldston to kick it up a notch.

Maybe they should bring in Andrew Lloyd Webber to make the next evening hearing a musical. Just be careful and don't make it too much like Les Miserables where the downtrodden rioted against government oppression and were gunned down for it. Too much like reality of January 6 and too far from the Democrats narrative.

Broadcast what’s on Hunter’s laptop.

Set it to some 1970s porn music. Bomchikawahwah.

The hearings that will be compelling are the ones on the Jan. 6th “select” committee members and their deliberate obstruction of justice by hiding and intentionally altering the truth.
If Trump wanted an insurrection, we would still be there !

I was wondering about this too.
According to the people who do the ratings stuff for the TV programming, a rerun of Young Sheldon proved to be more "compelling" than these J6 hearings.
Must be because Young Sheldon wasn't around during the Watergate Hearing.
