“’Viral’ is ill-defined...when I see 25 million views on YouTube...THEN I’ll be impressed.”

Either the YouTube counter is malfunctioning, OR they are suppressing the count.
Monday night when I watched it and emailed it out, the count was pushing 800,000.
Tuesday noon, when I posted to Rush if he had seen the video, the count was 295,089.

Today (Wed) Drudge carried the YouTube link all morning under the mysterious headline (major, featured large-type headline) “’ECONOMIC SUICIDE PACT’...”
As of 11am this morning (Wed), the count was 517,412. Highly dubious. Hundreds of thousands of people have gone to that video this morning alone from the Drudge page.
As I type (2:30pm), the count now stands at 517,844-— still significantly under the view-count of nearly 800,000 that was registered on YouTube Monday night-—even though the video had been highlighted or embedded in
breitbart.com
hotair.com
pjmedia.com
realclearpolitics.com
facebook.com
And, Michelle Malkin’s website (not listed by YouTube)
Now, it has been mentioned by Rush, and the counter still has not moved one unit.
It has gone viral, but we will never know the true count.
Yeah, I don’t get why Drudge changed the title either.
