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.

Because the type of people who read Breitbart are the type of people that would wouldn't bat an eye at getting their news from their Facebook feed.

Goes to show all the fuss about fake news stories on Facebook was true after all, Fox News is about as fake as it gets.

Breitbart

Steve Bannon, head and founder of Breitbart.com is "coincidentally" Trumps chief strategist both in Trumps administration and for his campaign.

So the references to Breitbart.com were by people who thought they were going to a news site but were actually just getting Trump propaganda.
