At Least 20 Million People Watched The 1/6 Committee Hearing Just 3 Million Watched Fox News

[634-5789]

Early ratings data reveals that at least 20 million people watched the 1/6 Committee hearing. Just 3 million Americans watched Fox News.

The New York Times reported on the early ratings data:

An audience of at least 20 million people watched the first prime-time hearing of the House Select Committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on Thursday night, according to Nielsen.

ABC attracted the biggest audience, with 5.2 million viewers. NBC and CBS each had an audience of more than three million. MSNBC averaged more than four million, and CNN drew 2.7 million. (The 20 million figure did not yet include PBS, so the total audience was most likely a bit bigger.)

1. Seriously. I'm not sure if it's a positive or negative on Fox News

Sure they lost by counting all the networks together. But Fox still beat CNN. That’s embarrassing for CNN.no?

2. I believe 3 million is their normal viewers for that timeframe. These are people who are so

brainwashed, that if trump confessed they wouldn’t care

In other words, those viewers of faux believe the attempted insurrection and overthrow of the government was justified

They will never be convinced

Why it isn’t embarrassing for CNN, is because their prime time viewers increased from their usual volume

Keep in mind that those watching CNN and the locals exceeded all the others, and that is probably good because it would probably be representative of independents

ABC had almost 5 million viewers, and all the local networbeat cable or satellite

4. No because fox news was the only place to watch crap. CNN MSNBC all the

tv networks, PBS , NPR. EVERYWHERE you could watch the hearings.

7. If any one of the networks showing the hearing were allowed to hog it, they would have had

all 20 million of us.

8. I disagree. I think if someone is channel surfing and they see it's everywhere some

people will be more likely to watch it than if it's just on one channel. It makes it more clear it's a huge deal.

5. Fox is just a focus group

And they are alone. Their viewers have no place else to go. If there were two or three more conservative networks like Fox the numbers would change rapidly and would show Fox for what it is.

3. The next 4 hearings are not prime time. They're in the morning. Won't be as many people

watching it live. I kinda wish they were all in the evening. More viewers.

10:00 eastern time... 7:00 am for us west coast people. 🙁☕️bah humbug

9. And 100 million people listened to right-wing radio for analysis of it

Ever keep that sort of thing in mind.
