The two major themes: 1) did you hear that . . . ? 2) have you heard the lies they are telling?

the messages reporting [without elaboration] approximately equal the number that report with a challenge: 100 vs 105. Almost no one reported and elaborated agreement -- 6. Ten asked a question to viewer. and 3 speculated about future assuming Bernanke was correct.

The figure compares agrees [red] and challenges [blue] over time.

Very similar at the beginning. By the 21st reporting had disappeared.
