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.
Like the NY Times, WSJ, Washington Post, and LA Times instead of infotainment news sources like CNN, Fox News, and Breitbart. Not to say the newspapers I listed are not without their own institutional bias but at least they have actual investigative journalists on the payroll and at least try to be objective.
