In reply to the discussion: John Dean/Judiciary hearing starting NOW!!!! tune in [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)75. We had am and pm newspapers back then.
the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post Intelligencer ( HEARST)
Plus Cronkite at 6:30 on the tv.
I was a stay at home Mom then. so could read the papers and see the news on tv, it was covered pretty well for the times.For some reason, I did not tune into PBS for the hearings, not sure then that I knew they were on.
I just knew that I found everything about Nixon repulsive, even as a young kid back in 1952 when I saw his Checkers speech esp.that the adults were watching.

You? How about Jamie Raskin? He's been running back and forth between the two.

As was readily predictable, none of the major networks are carrying this, not even MSNBC.

If they were impeachment hearings, they'd be on regular broadcast networks. nt

Everyone has PBS. That would get a lot more eyeballs than the Judiciary web feed. nt

The PBS station here in LA certainly didn't carry it all day. Maybe snippets during their News.

Yup. That Heritage Foundation stooge would not be at an impeachment investigation hearing.
