News:: Twitch is streaming the Comey Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with its 'Twitch News' channel

If you've been watching...basically anything (every late night program, every news channel, every comedy or drama searching for low hanging fruit) in the past month, you're probably aware of the current situation between the current president and James Comey, former director of the FBI. Gaming streaming service Twitch is getting in on it too, bringing political news full circle.

If you want, you can watch the Comey hearing live on Twitch as part of their "Twitch News" channel. This isn't a new thing for Twitch as they broadcasted conventions for both major parties last year, and if this succeeds (it's currently at 14K views and rising, which puts it at the 10th concurrently viewed stream with some help from a front page listing -- just behind Grand Theft Auto V), we could see more of it.

The service is employing its "AutoMod" feature to "protect" it's users, but people are bypassing the hell of it in chat -- I wouldn't recommend going in there if you want to enjoy the rest of your day.
