Last night was the first night of the Republican National Convention.

And right off the bat, it was infinitely better than the DNC, at least in terms of production quality.

It actually felt kind of normal.

Other Republicans did have some cringy moments, but the Democrats had way more cringy moments.

But the big news right now that the right is cheering about,

first night of GOP convention delivers nearly six times more views than start of Democrats

event on C-SPAN live stream.

That's right, the RNC pulled in six times the viewers on C-SPAN.

But this isn't the full picture.

According to Variety, Democrats actually got better ratings on their first night.

Now this could be explained in many ways.

It could just be the overnight ratings for the RNC are a little low and they're skewing

Democrat. It could actually be nobody likes the Republicans and people are all watching the Democrats.

But I think there's a better way to explain this.

I think Democrats are less likely to watch the RNC and Republicans are more likely to watch

the DNC. And this goes along with the comments saying that Democrats think Republicans are evil.

Republicans think Democrats are misguided or another idea that we're seeing that people

on the left don't follow conservatives, but people on the right follow both conservatives

and liberals. There's actually a chart that I show relatively often showing.

Conservatives get about a third of their news from liberal sources.
