I feel like this pretty much explains why things are the way they are:

1. Silly me! I wasn't aware that impeachment was supposed to be entertaining.

[BSdetect]

2. The shiny and noisy get attention from the msm

[DFW]

3. Some in our media seem disappointed that Pelosi is Speaker of the House and not Johnny Cochran

They seem unable to distinguish between hearings by day and "Entertainment Tonight."

4. I was flipping channels at one point

Yesterday. I only have a antenna and my ipad with CNN and Msnbc so was watching few min of discussion during break of ABC, CBS, and NBC and I noticed that both CBS and ABC were taking the hearings very seriously and Chuck Todd and another on NBC were doing the both sides thing and I was disgusted and turned quick.

I didn’t check PBS although I get that too.

I was actually surprised by ABC and CBS considering how conservative the owners are.

10. Interesting the difference between NBC and MSNBC

I had C-SPAN on the computer and MSNBC on the TV. Ended up with the TV so I could post and watch at the same time more easily. MSNBC was surprisingly good. I listened to much of the interstitial commentary to get a sense of what people would be hearing. It was informative, critical of Republican bluster and lack of focus, and very thoughtful and complimentary of the witnesses. I haven't watched TV coverage of anything in a while, so I was pleasantly surprised.

12. Believe it or not both ABC and CBS

Were that way too. NBC has changed, letting Chuck on their political panel and I can’t remember who else but not the same as all the rest and I turned channel quickly. I think part of difference is in the old days Brian Williams was on NBC for stuff like that and they moved him to MSNBC.

Would like to see their ratings against others since people could choose.

5. That's the Trump/GOP talking point

"The hearings are boring, don't listen"

[WhiteTara]

6. It's like nothing less than the pee pee tape

would be interesting enough to capture the attention of the American public. Does anyone know how many people watched?

[TheRealNorth]

7. Interestingly

Wasn't the new Republican Conspiracy theory they were floating was that the Democrats have nude or compromising pictures of Donald Trump? That must mean they know that they are out there (I bet Putin has them).

8. also heard one of the news anchors

(sorry can't remember which channel)

but they were calling this the first "act". It's not a damn act.

I simply can not understand how, with the future of our country at stake, Dem leaders could have failed to tell witnesses to bring tap shoes and feather boas for the grand finale fan-kicking tap line. Complete political malpractice. Not even so much as jazz hands after answers.

13. that's a winner

[ProudLib72]

11. From now on all testimony must be delivered in rhyming couplets

Otherwise, the fat bastard is innocent.

[Initech]

14. You gotta have all that jazz man!

Because that's what the kids are into! I heard a guy say that on TV once.
