How the Epoch Times Created a Giant Influence Machine
- Barrin92 6y agoThe article doesn't even do the sheer size of this operation justice. i remembered an article from last year.[1] >"In April, at the height of its ad spending, videos from the Epoch Media Group, which includes The Epoch Times and digital video outlet New Tang Dynasty, or NTD, combined for around 3 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, ranking 11th among all video creators across platforms and outranking every other traditional news publisher, according to data from the social media analytics company Tubular." Three billion views, more than most of the large publishers combined. And content that isn't just a little bit out there, but as the NYT article suggests full on QAnon-tier stuff. Simply insane.
