Media Matters can’t tell the difference between Twitter and TV

My latest post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal blog:

Now, Sanchez has around 113,000 Twitter “followers”, but even his 3 PM ET show on CNN must have more viewers than that. (Although at last count, FOX News has more viewers at three o’clock in the morning than CNN does in prime time.)

If the New York Times published its retractions inside, say, fortune cookies scattered throughout Lower East Side Chinese restaurants, would Media Matters find that an equally acceptable journalistic practice?
