Question: Do those who are saying that President's press conferences don't get high ratings
take the internet into account? I know many people who stream the President's press conferences and speeches on the web rather than watch them on television.

Is this being factored in to the ratings? I just think it's strange that this is never mentioned and it seems to be assumed that, unless people are watching him live on one of the broadcast or cable networks, they're not paying attention.

Just wondering.

1. an excellent point
streaming live is more common than most of us realize.

My children for instance,upon hearing of a big news story, run to the web,not to the TV news like their parents do.
