I watched it on Right Side News, streamed from their YouTube account.
Exactly. Everyone I knew live streamed it because the cable networks weren’t showing all the speakers. This is just more wishful thinking by the left leaning mainstream media.
I watched on C-SPAN, gavel to gavel.
I haven’t had cable for 10 years. I watched LIVE on youtube.
They can be “giddy” about the numbers all they want. They are lower because their industry is in decline.
Save this story for when the ratings for Hillary’s speech come out. I bet the spin will be a little ... different.
I was just going to point that out.this DOES NOT account for those who watched on CSPAN......We could not stand all the talking heads who were not showing each speech so we watched on CSPAN........as many did soooooooo Media spins things again it would appear
Yup. How many streamed Trump? Millions.
Millennial me, I don’t have a TV, guess I don’t count.
I watched on youtube and cspan.
You’re right, the comparison between 2008 and 2016 doesn’t account for the fact that television is quickly becoming yesterday’s medium, especially among those of us who can’t stand the asinine MSM talking heads.
I think you are right. I only watched the convention on TV on Fri. The rest of the week, I went over the speeches from Utube links the following morning.
I was very disappointed with the coverage on TV cable, Fox. Just talking heads, leaving out speaker after speaker, not even announcing who was at the lectern.
If you want to see and hear most of the speeches, you have to use Utube or CSPAN or streaming.
Yeah, I watched it on YouTube.
No doubt lots more people watching online than 8 years ago.
that’s because more people watched online this time..
less people have TVs than in McCain’s year..2008..
they can measure how many people were online instead of guessing the TV ratings using Nelson...
Plus many people could have watched the video later online instead of LIVE...
I was tired myself and went to bed at 7.30PM and watched the CSPAN video online hours later..
this article means nothing..
Very good point. But today's media will use anything, anything at all, no matter how feeble the evidence, or glaring the pretext, to disparage Trump. Thank heavens we have the Internet.
An apples: oranges comparison. They will also make a big deal of Hillary’s audience not coming near Obama’s, right? Sure they will.
People are getting wise to even FoxNews.and are no longer watching these events from media outlets
I watched on C SPAN to avoid the constant propaganda.
I watched the RNC feed on Youtube. No crap from the crooks in the media.
I’m guessing that adding CSPN, PBS, youtube and other streaming sites, that he got about the same as McCain and 0bama in 2008, both of whom drew about 38 MILLION.
As we have seen with the Wikileaks emails from the DNC and liberal media, they will do what they have to to make Hillary look great. So I expect they will count CSPAN numbers, Youtube viewers, those sitting in prison, dogs and cats, anything they can do to make her numbers look better than they really are. I mean, they were ready to start challenging Bernie’s Jewish heritage, so they will do anything.
