Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-01-13
You have to love the world-wide influence Piers Morgan has on Twitter. But I don’t have to love how hard it is to disentangle his world-wide mentions from his domestic ones. That problem surfaced today when Cristiano Ronaldo won FIFA’s player of the year award, the Ballon d’Or, beating out the previous winner, Lionel Messi.
Words and hashtags related to this event swamped the mentions of US cable news shows and personalities, particularly Mr. Morgan, giving an unusually worldly feel to the Twitter conversation.
Monday also welcomed Thomas A. Roberts to MSNBC’s Way Too Early, and Alex Wagner to take over Martin Bashir’s old 4pm slow, although neither managed to get into the trending topics.
