M.O.B. Votes:

The hearing got 20 million. The Superbowl gets 140 million. The SOTUs get 35-40 million.

This hearing will probably rank in the top 10 of viewership for the last calendar year. It's foolish to deny that isn't a big number.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

So the 1/6 committee had awful ratings for their prime time - Sal CMSU - 6/14 07:28:23

It was around 20 million. - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 09:47:40

So, about the same amount that watched the Academy Awards?(nm) - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:14:45

Not when every network besides Fox News - Sal CMSU - 6/14 09:52:32

It's irrelevant if 1 or 20 stations carried it. - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 09:57:34

Biden's SOTU got 38 million - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:24:48

No, it's directly relevant - mizzouSECedes STL - 6/14 10:09:03

It's wholly irrelevant. - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 10:11:57

20 million is not a good number - Sal CMSU - 6/14 10:29:52

20 million viewers in not good. Biden's SOTU got almost - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:22:21

Yes, - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 10:30:34

20 million is a small number for the hype it was given - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:46:47

No, the point was it should have been a lot higher - Sal CMSU - 6/14 10:32:39

No, you specifically discount the sum - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 10:35:20

Trump got nearly 50 million viewers for his 2017, 18 & 19 - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:49:47

Why use SOTUs as the benchmark? - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 10:57:23

What benchmark are you using? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 6/14 11:02:56

What other political event is held during prime time on all - Spanky KU - 6/14 10:58:57

Almost no other political event is held in primetime. - DC Jayhawk KU - 6/14 11:17:00

So SOTU is the correct benchmark, agreed?(nm) - Spanky KU - 6/14 11:18:34

No I didn't - Sal CMSU - 6/14 10:36:37

lol OK (nm) - Sal CMSU - 6/14 10:01:27

Dead on balls accurate (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 6/14 08:04:03

That's the practice. The aim is money and re-election.(nm) - Toger STL - 6/14 07:55:51

that's pretty spot on (nm) - Sal CMSU - 6/14 07:40:14

but the DOJers were watching weren't they? (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 6/14 07:29:32

Many things the marks of Don the Con should learn - Floyd Turbo 99 - 6/14 07:41:54

I was surprised when I found out MG is a goblin looking - SwampTiger MU - 6/14 07:50:06

So, you're saying he sounded a little taller - Wildcat KSU - 6/14 08:32:59

I don't think I've ever heard him speak (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 6/14 08:36:01
