Sinclair viewership numbers dwarf MSNBC’s. They own local news affiliates reaching 40% of American households. MSNBC gets south of 2m viewers in prime time.

MSNBC is not a local network and is not the only liberal TV news broadcast in the country. Neither is Sinclair the only conservative.

That comparing 2 randomly selected companies does nothing to measure the total left/right viewership and engagement of news broadcasts.

Why downvote if you didn't understand my point?
