Two million Twitter followers? Whatever. Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless just ignores the internet.

Skip Bayless, the longtime ESPN anchor who is now co-hosting "Undisputed" on Fox Sports 1, has more than two million Twitter followers — and he has followed zero people back.

That’s not an accident. On the latest episode of Recode Media with Peter Kafka, Bayless said he doesn’t have an answer to how TV people might break through the noise of people doing what they do online.

"I don’t pay enough attention to what you’re asking me about," Bayless said. "That is the question, and I’m actually proud of the fact that I don’t think about it. To me, I can only do what I do and what I’ve been doing for a long, long time."

He said guests frequently underestimate how difficult it is to be on live TV. But he has more than a decade of experience doing it for hours on end every day.

Until recently, Bayless was known for co-hosting "First Take" on ESPN with Stephen A. Smith. Although he loved his time at ESPN, he said his move to Fox Sports allowed him to devote more time to talking about controversial topics on the air, and less time on distractions.

"The people who run ESPN, to a fault, pay way too much attention to what I think are insignificant bloggers making irrelevant statements about what happens on ESPN," he said. "It just doesn’t matter to us."

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
