Christa Pike's last request draws fourteen times Inside Edition's norm
The execution report took off while the channel, like the big news networks around it, was running well below its usual daily pace.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 665,464 views a day, 14 times a normal first day on this channel (48,043).
Christa Pike Has One Last Request Before Execution By Lethal Injection
The large news channels were having a soft stretch. Fox News, NBC News and MS NOW were all drawing fewer views than usual, and Inside Edition was too, with its daily total well under its normal level. One new video went the other way.
"Christa Pike Has One Last Request Before Execution By Lethal Injection" went up on Tuesday. Seven hours later it was close to 300,000 views, on course for about fourteen times what a new Inside Edition upload usually gathers in its first day. On a channel that posts constantly and rarely sees a single video pull this far ahead, that gap is hard to miss.
The title gives only the outline: a woman facing execution by lethal injection, and a final request before it. Only a few days earlier, the video leading the channel was about a Maine mother's sourdough bake stand. This time the report drawing the crowd is a far more somber one.
