These numbers don’t include “networks like C-SPAN or online streaming services offered by many networks and websites. Twitter, which partnered with Bloomberg to stream the hearing, said 2.7 million viewers tuned in. Facebook said there were 26 million views while live of Comey-related video,” according to a Politico report.
The good news spread around, even hitting comedian Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on CBS , which had its best night since its debut in 2015.
Its BEST night.
