Don Surber on the impeachment hearings

| No Comments

The ratings suck. It is a boring show-trial. From Don's website:

Impeachment is must miss TV
Maybe today will be different. Maybe millions of Americans suddenly will see the light. Maybe they will abandon President Donald John Trump and tune in the Democrat Party's Taxpayer Funded Operation Research and Medicine Show on TV.

But we know better.

The impeachment inquisition is a slow, tedious show trial in which instead of confessing their sins against the state, the State Department experts who brought us Benghazi complain that President Trump ignored their advice and set foreign policy.

Nota Bene: It is the job of the President to set Foreign Policy. It is the job of the State Department to carry the policy out. To do different is to violate the Logan Act. Don then links to Rich Noyes' article at News Busters:

Yawn: 95% of U.S. Adults Skipped Friday’s Impeachment Hearings
Americans aren’t exactly obsessed with the Democrats’ impeachment hearings, it seems. Friday’s second day of live, wall-to-wall coverage drew an average of 12.7 million viewers on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and the Fox News Channel combined.

That’s down from a relatively tepid 13.1 million for Day 1 of testimony on Wednesday.

In comparison, an actual news event that definitely captured Americans’ imagination — the verdict in the O.J. Simpson trial — drew 150 million viewers (nearly twelve times as many) back in 1995.

That's got to hurt - 12 times more people watched the O.J. Trial. They have nothing. Time for Schiff to crawl back under his rock.
