Okay, let's be real. We've all been there. You're flipping through channels. You want to catch the Jan 6 hearing. But where IS it?
Is it on HGTV between episodes of "House Hunters"? Probably not. Though, a little renovation of the Capitol building wouldn't hurt, right?
The Channel Conundrum
Seriously though, finding the Jan 6 hearing can feel like searching for socks in the dryer. They seem to vanish into thin air.
It's not exactly on Cartoon Network. Although, sometimes the political discourse feels a little like a cartoon. Anyone else feel that way?
You might think it's on C-SPAN. And you'd be partially right! But sometimes it's also on the major news networks. ABC, NBC, CBS... the usual suspects.
The Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Okay, here's where I get a little controversial. I think ALL channels should show it. Hear me out!
Think about it. Imagine watching the Food Network. BAM! Suddenly, Jan 6 hearing. Chopped could wait!
My unpopular opinion? Force everyone to watch! Maybe then we'd *actually* pay attention.
Okay, okay, I’m kidding. (Mostly.)
So, Where *Is* It Really?
Instead of channel surfing, try a quick Google search. Seriously. Type "Jan 6 hearing channel" and BAM! Instant answer.
Also, most streaming services will carry it. Hulu, YouTube TV, etc. Technology is amazing.
And don't forget the news websites! Most of them will have a livestream. No cable required.
But honestly, sometimes I feel like I need a flowchart. "Is it on CNN? No? Okay, is it on MSNBC? No? Okay, deep breaths..."
My Personal Pet Peeve
It's when the news networks tease it. "Coming up next! The Jan 6 hearing! But first, cat videos!"
Seriously? Cat videos? I mean, I love cats. But priorities people!
Give me the hearing! I can watch cat videos later. (Though, I probably won't.)
The Ultimate Viewing Guide (Kind Of)
So, to recap: C-SPAN, major news networks, streaming services, news websites. Got it?
And remember, a quick Google search is your best friend. Seriously, bookmark it.
Now go forth and watch the Jan 6 hearing. Or, you know, watch cat videos. I won't judge. (Much.)
Just try not to get too distracted by reruns of "Friends." It's a slippery slope.
"The Jan 6 hearing... it's like Waldo. You know it's *somewhere*, but finding it is the challenge."
And if all else fails? Just ask a friend! Or yell at your TV. I've done both.
