is on a Sunday and in January/February so cold winter time blues.
So many people work 8-5 daily and this hearing was 1pm on a Thursday.
Not much of a comparison I think.

I think 3.5 million is a great number because it doesn't include streaming the video after the fact.

How much the super bowl is hyped, so yeah, it’s not really a good comparison.

What would be a good comparable?

I think people assume that if they follow cable news a lot, that most other people do to.

Impact will depend on follow-up news coverage, media saturation, "shelf-life" of story, and dissemination of information on social media.

I did not watch the whole thing live, but have read and seen several "follow-up" stories.

their discussion panel was all women. In a way, I am happy that I didn't notice that because that just seems like a normal thing to me, so I didn't notice it as remarkable. They did an excellent job, as usual.
