Is this an Alternate Fact like the number of attendees to Trump's Innauguration?
I'm sure the Lamestream Media just padded the "real numbers" and maybe counted ilegal aliens as well:
[quote]Nearly 20 million people watched Thursday night’s first hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol across broadcast and cable news, according to preliminary ratings figures from Nielsen.
Each of the major television news networks pre-empted their regularly scheduled programming on Thursday to show continuous live coverage of the two-hour hearings.
ABC took the largest haul of viewers, earning 4.8 million viewers while NBC and CBS carried 3.5 million and 3.3 million, respectively.
On cable, MSNBC pulled in a whopping 4.1 million viewers during the hearings, nearly four times what the network averages on a typical weeknight.
Usually dominant Fox News Channel came in second place on cable on Thursday night, averaging 3 million viewers from 8 to 10 p.m. CNN came in third place with 2.6 million.
Fox took criticism this week for its decision not to air continuous live coverage of the hearings on its main cable channel and pre-empt the regularly scheduled opinion shows featuring hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
Instead, Fox relegated live coverage of the hearings to Fox Business Network, which ratings figures show pulled in 223,000 viewers from 8 to 10 p.m. Fox also provided its live coverage on its various streaming platforms and made it available to its affiliate stations across the country.
Friday’s preliminary figures are likely to grow and do not include viewers who watched the hearing via streaming service online like YouTubeTV and other platforms. [/quote]

No Misty.
It's called 'a joke'.
a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
I know, it's got to be difficult for a Marxist to understand.
Sorry - I'll try to be more inclusive in the future.

@Johnson212 Mostly gas is my guess. Nobody really seems to expect this to help much at all with the midterms, and I doubt its actually going to [i]directly [/i]impact even the 2024 election.
I've never been a huge fan of Congressional Hearings, and while the topic of this one is, I think important, it really should be addressed in court.
The weird thing is, that while Democrats (and a tiny number of non-Trumpist Republicans) seem to be hoping that they can help get Garland to act, they're also poisoning the jury pool.

@Johnson212 They can't do anything, though, which is why they don't really need to have cross examination, etc.
In that sense, most Congressional hearings are "jokes."
I don't think, though, that it's fair to say, if they had a case they would have made it, at least if they are the Select Committee. They're trying really hard to do all that they [i]can[/i] do.
The DOJ is another story.
