In a direct comparison of social media engagement,
CNN generally has a significantly larger audience and overall reach compared to Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist.
Here's why:
CNN is a major news organization with a vast global audience and a large presence across various platforms (broadcast, online, social media).
Laura Loomer is a right-wing influencer known for her controversial views and is mainly active on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Rumble. While she has a substantial following (1.7 million followers on X as of July 8, 2025), this is significantly smaller than the potential reach of a global news organization like CNN.
CNN reaches millions of viewers through its television channels and digital platforms. In 2021, CNN Digital had an average of 144 million unique visitors in the US, making it the most viewed digital news outlet, according to Comscore.
