Open impeachment inquiry proceedings have begun in the House Intelligence Committee, led by committee chair and parody aficionado Rep. Adam Schiff. Judging from what was going on with MSNBC, it’s clear that many media outlets were probably having tailgate parties before the hearings began:

How out of touch is the beltway? MSNBC compares this sham "impeachment" "hearing" to the Super Bowl ? pic.twitter.com/fvb44fcqcX — Elizabeth Harrington (@LizRNC) November 13, 2019

They might be overdoing it just a little bit.

MSNBC is turning this inquiry into the entertainment event of the century! I'm not joking. They just compared this to the Superbowl or Game of Thrones. These people suck. Stop watching MSM in all forms. — Don't mind me I'm just antifa boy (@don_peasant) November 13, 2019

We expected nothing less from MSNBC. The rest of the day will tell if CNN manages to eclipse that reaction.

Look at that piece of Schiff just giddy with all the attention he’s getting. — Nicole Cerina (@nicole_cerina) November 13, 2019
