(14,955 posts)I haven't owned a T.V. in 10+ years and get my video feeds via the fine folks at DU that post pertinent pieces. I don't think we're being counted.

(881 posts)- Streaming online (think of how many people were at work during the day, sitting in front of a computer)
- Watching C-Span on TV
- Watching PBS
- Watching local Fox stations
- Watching outside their home (at a bar, the airport, some waiting room..)
That's a lot of people.

(12,618 posts)in the middle of the proceedings? If you want pizzaz, go watch Netflix, play some video games, read a book, watch an MMA fight. If you want to successfully run a democracy, then run hearings in a professional manner according to law. It's not supposed to be exciting or have pizzaz.
