Important. Hoping Facebook will report impressions of links by domain in future WVC reports. To me, that stat is more informative than the current one, a binary measure of how many people ever saw any link to a given domain, which fails to capture multiple exposures per @corintxt
Explanatory thread from @leeyvonnem at Facebook here - appreciate her clarification
I was confused by the difference between widely viewed links and domains - I thought widely viewed domains were those with the most impressions, not unique users. Had a long thread with @corintxt in which he tried to tell me I was wrong; he was right! Appreciate his patience.
We really need a @crowdtangle-style interactive tool and API providing live privacy-protecting data on reach rather than quarterly reports, but I am hopeful Facebook will continue to improve the WVC reports as well. Adding domain-level total impressions is one way to do so.

Both can be true!

What would you say if you saw it in another country?

Laboratories of democratic erosion. What happens there can and likely will spread.

Lots of things now are abnormal, but a VP whose staff squabbles with the White House and worries about their lackluster image is about as normal as it gets.
PS As Jim Stimson points out, VPs always seem to lack independence and stature until they run on their own, which shifts their image substantially (GHWB, Gore). It seems to be a reflection of the (largely powerless) office and the way it is covered.

Shades of the extremist backlash to Clinton that helped lead to Oklahoma City and Ruby Ridge. Put on the air by Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch and the Fox board.
At some point, people who aren’t in on the grift are going to start taking Trump, Carlson, and their kind literally and/or seriously. And tragedy will result
