Summary
Conservatives are Dominating the Media Landscape by most metrics. Cable TV ratings shows that Fox news has THREE times thew viewership of MSNBC and CNN combined in primetime ratings. Across Digital, Daily Wire has more engagements on social media than ALL Top left wing publishers COMBINED. How this translates into liberal and democrat voting habits is to be seen but it seems conservatives are substantially more active in news and politics than liberals by and by a wide margin. This could forecast the outcome of the mid terms if the right wing is more active.

| 0:04.4 | Television ratings, newsprint circulation, and digital media engagements. |
| 0:09.1 | The other day on my second channel, I was reading an article about American polarization, |
| 0:13.4 | and in it they linked to a study from NewsWip. |
| 0:15.8 | The study shows that on social media, the most actively engaged with page for the left is |
| 0:21.4 | Occupy Democrats, a propaganda conspiracy website, whereas the right typically engages with Fox News, |
| 0:27.5 | which, while it is partisan, is considered to be a credible source of information. |
| 0:31.9 | I started digging to more data, and it does seem that across the board, whatever is happening right now, |
| 0:36.9 | it looks like conservatives are consuming and engaging with media way more than the left is. |
| 0:42.3 | I don't know how that will translate to the midterms, but I think it's going to have a significant |
| 0:46.2 | impact. So first, let's take a look at television ratings to see just who is winning. |

| 1:20.0 | key demo of 25 to 54 Fox News prime time was 583,000. CNN was 136. MSNBC was 82 and HLN was 92. |
| 1:31.3 | If you combine CNN and MSNBC, Fox News has more than double their viewership. You could even |
