We’ve seen that the Jan. 6 hearings haven’t been going very well.
Primetime’s first night was a disaster for ratings. The Jan. 6 Committee has been deceptive in their presentations, trying to smear President Donald Trump and other Republicans — the primary purpose of the hearings in the run-up to the midterms. It isn’t about the truth, it’s pure politics. People know it, and aren’t interested in sticking around for the manipulated floor show.
And if people were hoping to smear Trump, the fact that Trump-endorsed candidates largely swept in the primaries since the public hearings started should be a big indication of just exactly how much the hearings are affecting people — which is to say, it certainly isn’t preventing them from voting for Trump Republicans at all.
People may actually be more likely to support Republicans if they are seeing partisan exercises by Democrats using tax money. The hearings featured Rep. Tom Rice, RINO-SC, who was elected five times, but who voted for Trump’s impeachment. He was easily defeated by Russell Fry, his Trump-endorsed opponent.
So, even the media isn’t feeling like they have to run the hearings, if they want to cut away or run something that’s more exciting or will pull in people, which would be virtually anything. It was funny how NBC took away golf.

“We’re gonna have to end our coverage of this Jan 6 hearing on the NBC network,” Lester Holt said. Enough of those ‘threats to democracy,’ on to golf! This shows how serious NBC takes this show.
Yes, it was the U.S. Open, but golf has to be one of the most boring things to watch ever–and even that was more interesting than the scripted manipulation of the Jan. 6 hearings. Because the broadcaster decided there was more interest in golf than the hearings, it is likely that this had higher ratings. This is why watching paint dry would probably have better ratings. Golf is also more truthful than the hearing before the Committee.
NBC’s abrupt halt to programming made liberals quake. Mind you, not much. Even they don’t appear to be watching.

But it made perfect sense, since not only is golf more interesting, it’s more credible.
Well, there’s more credible information at the US Open golf tournament.

The bottom line here, too, is that it’s only going to draw the people already in their corner–and maybe not even a lot of those. The majority of Americans (including Democrats) are just trying to survive the battle against Bidenflation.
