for public impeachment hearings next week?
Edit to add: iirc 'everyone' tuned in to Watergate. Has our attention span diminished? Not mine

(635 posts)I honestly think that the average person would not put down their phone long enough to watch a bunch of politicians squabbling on t.v. I can't think of a single person I know who would consider watching it.

Like we really dont need to watch a thing to already know that. Everyone does.

(53,410 posts)People dont have to watch it to know whats happening. It will be in every single news outlet and station all the time. It will be all over DU all day long for as long as it lasts. Itll be the same on sites like Buzzfeed and blogs everywhere. Twitter will have hundreds of tweets about it all day long too. It will be the leading story on all local news stations every evening.
It will be impossible to NOT hear about it.
