This is, statistically, true. You often see whinging on Twitter about how many hits/how popular/etc Right Wing Media is and they will throw those numbers in you face as some type of indictment of a Fascist USA.
What they don't tell you is that the reason Anderson Cooper does 500k and Tucker Carlson does millions is that no Conservative watches Anderson Cooper, very few Liberals watch Anderson Cooper, but millions of Conservatives watch Tucker to get their news and millions of Liberals watch Tucker to get their nightly dose of hate dopamine.
