Axios reported today that in spite of Facebook’s and Twitter’s attempts to censor the New York Post’s blockbuster story on Hunter Biden’s emails, the story was the most popular election story on their respective platforms last week.
The breakdown in the numbers is as follows:
-The Post’s story generated 2.59m interactions (likes, comments, shares) on Facebook and Twitter last week — more than double the next biggest story about Trump or Biden.
-5 of the 10 biggest stories were about the Hunter Biden story, the fallout, or how Facebook and Twitter reacted.
-It was the 6th-most engaged article this month, trailing pieces like Trump testing positive for COVID-19 and Eddie Van Halen’s death.
-83% of the interactions happened on Facebook, with the other 17% on Twitter.
