The description I heard which made the most sense to me was it is Twitter live. No real exchange, just bloviating. I didn't catch the hearings with the tech firms but saw a lot of the Barr one. He made them look like buffoons and it was pretty obvious they were just there to throw red meat to their base with very little actual exchange. When Barr did get a chance to respond he appeared to me as the ony adult in the entire room.
These hearings get far too much attention in my opinion. But they generate clicks for the media which is about all they try to do these days.
