Does this tweet from CNN’s serial Fox News watcher reek of ratings jealousy? Because that’s what it feels like:
My Pillow props up @TuckerCarlson: Mike Lindell's firm is advertising on Tucker's show "nearly 10x more than the next-largest brand by spend," according to @ispottv data. pic.twitter.com/c0Pwz0I0NZ

Who wants to tell him?
You realize this is the highest rated cable news show on TV, right?

Can't believe a company is advertising on the highest rated show ever. What bad business. https://t.co/6UgfR0C2St

We have no idea if anybody at CNN ever went to journalism school, but they definitely didn’t attend business school.
i know this might be a tough concept for you to understand, but advertisers actually like to display their products on shows that have high viewership. https://t.co/BuzwTur8kd

Listen, I don't know who needs to hear this, but advertisers make a lot of money by spending ad dollars on shows with high ratings. https://t.co/AMR0twKM7k

Yes, it makes sense to advertise on the #1 rated cable show.
But that's not really your agenda here it is @brianstelter ? https://t.co/FZb5lAWZFr

Advitisers like featuring their products abundantly on high rated shows. Not that you or your colleagues would know anything about that…

It’s just a reality, not that CNN cares to dabble in that.

Now I have to buy a My Pillow just because you whined about it….

Can MyPillow create a tear-proof pillow? Something absorbent? https://t.co/7tSkh1gF91

The level of attention that Fox gets from a few CNN people is a sight to behold. https://t.co/5uWslpmwEr

All while CNN people wonder why Fox News gets such great ratings. Isn’t it ironic?
