INTERESTING: 70M+ viewers watched some portion of impeachment hearings (most watched network-FOX)

[kpete]

More than 70 million viewers watched some portion of the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment inquiry into President Trump, according to Nielsen data.

The hearings on whether Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine unless its government agreed to announce an investigation into his political opponents also pumped up viewing of the cable news channels. Both Fox News Channel and MSNBC saw significant year-over-year increases in audience levels for November. MSNBC’s daytime viewing levels for November were the highest in its 23-year history.

1. That's amazing. Did Fux allow viewers to see Dem questioning?

If so, I wonder if any Fux viewers were able to understand what they were seeing. Might move the needle a bit (at least away from Trump enthusiasm to "maybe I'll sit out 2020. " )

2. Nope

The Faux News viewers were tuning in to see Republicon congresscritters grill the "foreigners" who were part of the "deep state" trying to harass the Dear Leader. They have been kept on board by the amazing spinning techniques of Hannity, Carlson, etc.

They have doubled their resolve to vote for Trump next year, count on it.
