9. Maybe you don't realize that many people didn't watch the Watergate hearings live in the middle

of the day in 1973 since they were at work and didn't have television, and couldn't stream the coverage on their computers, and phones, etc. Many people listened to it on the radio, and watched the reruns and coverage in the evenings and on weekends and read about it in the newspaper.

MSNBC not showing this particular hearing live today is not a national tragedy or coverup or huge missed opportunity, no matter how much some people want to turn it into such.

Just this weekend, plenty of people here were dismissing this hearing as a complete waste of time, but now that MSNBC didn't cover it in real time, it's right up there with the Watergate hearings.
