a recent source said they have an 'audience' (but didn't really define how it is measured) of 2.1million. Assuming 250m voting aged adults in the USA that isn't even 1%. I understand there is 'second hand' knowledge from these sources but still i find the claim surprising in an age where there is so much competition for our attention. I don't think i've seen more than 10 hours of any cable news in the past 10 years - mostly in airports and banks. Perhaps I'm a recluse. (SOTU or other important speeches i usually watch on c-span online.)
