Speaking of restricting yourself to topics that you have some knowledge of, I brought up the "most-watched" news, and cited television figures... not website visits. Website views are not counted the same as television views. None of the figures mentioned above include website views.
"RT.com doesn't appear on that list because it wasn't in the Top 50."
No. The click-bait "trendingtopmost" link is completely different than the news outlets in the Alexa top 50.
A few things to point, however, out about the Alexa-documented website views:
- HP, Guardian, and others websites appear more popular than BBC (despite BBC being the #1 most-watched news)
- RT is #335, not 350 (it was #279 three months ago. NYT, CNN, especially Foxnews, and others, are all on the decline)
- rank #335 (not 350) out of all websites in the world means that RT.com is receiving massive visitor numbers (globeandmail.com is #8,068,541)
