Facebook Users Interacted Most With Articles From Fox News, CNN and Breitbart In Month Leading Up To Nov 10

Quartz's charts and visualization service The Atlas, has released an insightful chart that shows the "total reader interactions with articles on Facebook" between October 11, 2016 and November 10, 2016. What's surprising is that Breitbart beat a list of establishment media outlets in total Facebook interactions. By far the source with the most interacted articles was Fox News, as it had more than 44 million people interact with its articles. CNN and Breitbart were neck-and-neck with more than 18 million interactions.

    Reality: Saddam had no nukes and no more poison gas, and had nothing to do with 9/11, and was cooperating with UN weapons inspectors, so there was no reason and no legal casus belli justification to go to war with him, and, it created a mess, part of which is called ISIL.

    Is it any wonder there are few news channels on the right? Most of the stories they bandy about are horseshit, so relatively few self-respecting journalists/reporters would want to work there as shit shovelers.
