They Are Completely Different

On the same day that I posted a video saying that I agree with Fox News, I also must agree with former CNN media critic Brian Stelter when it comes to TV ratings and Twitter views.

I did not watch Trump’s interview with his lapdog Tucker Carlson on Twitter. But, I scrolled past that video on Twitter at least half a dozen times on my timeline.

Despite not watching it, or turning up the sound, each time a scrolled past that video, it was counted by Twitter as a view.

I didn’t view, I didn’t listen to it, yet it was still counted as views.

So, when you read that Trump’s Tucker lovefest got hundreds of millions of views, you might think that is how many people watched it. That’s not even close to the right number.

But, you will continue to see Trump and his followers push that as being the truth.

Then again, just like the 2020 election, they are very good about selling a lie.

Stelter tried to explain that while appearing on MSNBC, and he was right in what he was saying.
