I didn’t even know the kangaroo court was in session. Seems nobody cares 😂

After throwing two impeachments and a Russia hoax at Donald Trump, Congressional Democrats' latest political theater against the former president - produced by a former TV exec for prime time - is a ratings disaster.



Their unifying theory seems to be that Trump masterminded a rag-tag mob of (fed infiltrated) groups, which 'stormed' the capital (through doors that were opened for them), then sauntered into various parts of the Capital - some even engaging in mayhem, in an 'attempt to subvert Democracy' and, we suppose, topple the US government?

Congress was back to work two hours after the interruption (aka the darkest moment in American history).

In any event, ratings for the Democrats' latest Trump takedown attempt aren't exactly a success, relatively speaking, as just 20 million viewers tuned in for Thursday night's 'prime-time' event, according to The Hill.

At CBS alone, last week's episode of "Young Sheldon" got more views (3.86 million vs. 3.24 million), according to the Washington Free Beacon.



By contrast, an estimated 38 million people tuned in to Trump's inauguration, 20 million watched Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and 38 million tuned in to Biden's State of the Union Address in March.

Starting to warm up out there. It is about time for them to spark off some good old fashioned race riots.
 
20 million viewers over the 6 networks.
All with a higher viewership than Fox at the same time running their insurrectionist excuse TV.
The far right panic is just beginning.

You wish. Fox had a little over 3 million viewers last Thursday in that time slot.:D
 
Right wingers plugging their ears to avoid hearing the truth, pathetic.

Common core math?

6 networks ÷ 20 million = 3.3 million

One little show on one little cable station on fox/Tucker averages 3.5 million viewers

They garnered nearly 20 million viewers. NBA Finals Game 3 got 11.5m viewers. The NHL Eastern Conference final got 2 million viewers. World Series game 6 got 11.8 million viewers. 60 Minutes got a little over 8 million viewers.

The first January 6th hearing did tremendous ratings...which is likely why there seems to be so many "conservatives" terrified of them right now.

Yeah, that's not how reality works. How reality works is that 20 million people watched the hearing and 3.3 million watched Carlson. More people watched MSNBC during Carlson's hour than Fox News.
 
Was it true that FOX went the entire two hours during the select committee public hearings without any commercial breaks ?

Subtle lack of logic in your post, if I understand your point. The issue is how many people watched. The more networks that carry it, the fewer eyeballs per network.

and the 20 million viewers were watching their TV screens, nobody knows how many were watching the hearing on their computer screens.
 
Lol 20 million is a good number.

If any TV show got 20 million eyeballs it would never be cancelled and the network would prolly hand them the keys to the castle

It's actually pretty good considering people are already familiar with the plot line and we're talking about a congressional hearing. It's not the Super Bowl. It's not the UFC. It's not an inauguration or election night. It's a hearing...which actually surpassed the viewership of Trump's impeachment.
 
Where else can one turn to watch trump on TV nowadays. :LOL:
