Let's dig into those numbers even further. First of all, 1.85 is almost half of what they had a year ago. As you see, out of a nation of 100 voters, that's still less than 2%...and who says all of those are rushpublicans? That number isn't even 5% of the vote Gramps McCain got in '08.
These numbres have also been conflated as they're only compared to the other "news" networks...there are far more people watching ESPN or Nickelodeon...it's not even as many who watch the 11:00 news in New York or LA on a nightly basis. But its trumpeted, primarily by faux and echoed by the corporate media as being something more than what it is. Problem is when they echo the faux talking points that it reaches far more people. It's time for the other networks to fact check first and propagate last.
