On the tie with Honey Boo Boo, can someone explain?

This article says that they tied but it also says HBB had 2.4 million viewers and Clinton had 20.6 million. So I'm not really sure why people think they tied...? What am I missing?

The tie was comparing HBB to the ratings of only one channel showing the DNC. Same for the RNC last week. But of course the conventions were aired on multiple channels, so many more people saw the DNC and RNC. The tie thing has been really overblown IMO.

Yes! I was just going to say this! It's a stupid comparison but one the media is running with.

I brought it up and was so annoyed with how it gets so many viewers compared to the dnc or rnc.
