E! News had another good day in Twitter mentions, but not good enough to come close Piers Morgan and Sean Hannity, the second and first place winners in total tweets during the day. For tweets during a broadcast, MSNBC’s The Ed Show took its usual top position. And while that’s usually enough to propel MSNBC to first place in the overall network counts, Hannity;’s strong showing put Fox News over the top on Wednesday.
