Not sure Nielsen ratings can be compared to “views,” which could last a few moments, an hour or be the same person “clicking” more than once. But an impressive number all the same. Kudos to Tucker, and curses to FauxNews.

Just because somebody has their TV tuned into a channel for an hour does not mean they are watching it for an hour. Lots of times our TV plays to an empty room.

A click means somebody is actually watching it when the click occurs. They might watch a few minutes, click to something else for a while, then click back.

One could make the argument clicks are a more valid measurement of actual viewer attention.

An ex TV exec posted here this morning that Nielsen counts a “viewer” as a bonafide “audience” if one watches for at least 5 minutes.

Or it could be bots. :-)

Those numbers are way off. It’s not the number of people that watched, but were exposed to posts about it

If you scroll down past a Twitter video, it counts as a view. No doubt Tucker and Trump got a big audience last night, but comparing streaming views to the old television Nielsen ratings is apples and oranges.
