What are the driving platforms behind the American right wing?

Fox News viewers watched 14 hours/week in 2022. The average US Tikok user spends 10.5 hours/week in the app.

I think that the amount of information one can consume on tiktok in 1 hour is FAR more than the amount of information one can consume on Fox in 24 hours, nevermind the 10.5-to-14 ratio you cite.

    True. Fox News picks a few storylines for the day/week and emphasizes them over and over: e.g. LA wildfires are the fault of woke liberals, etc.

If this is a question that can be answered with user-minutes, it's probably worth factoring in that TikTok has loads more users than Fox News has viewers. I (naturally) can't find a MAU for Fox News, and I can't find a DAU for TikTok, but the apples to oranges comparison is 1.6M daily viewers at Fox to 120M MAU at TikTok, so we're probably talking at least an order of magnitude.
