- dragonwriter 8y ago> The point of the exercise was never to make the news, it's about governing. Then why the empty chair theatrics; why reject, in a hearing notionally about policy, the Google executive most appropriate for policy issues; why the pretense of national importance of having particular witnesses with dramatic complaints about their absence when the committee only used voluntary invitations and not subpoenas compelling testimony? It may not be all theatrics, but it's definitely more about theatrics than governing.
