Not a lot dominating the talk of cable news Twitter on Sunday. Interesting to see how CNN’s taken a hit overall, though. I’m not sure if it’s the waning of interest in the Malaysia Airlines flight, or the departure of the always controversial and heavily social media engaged Piers Morgan…
Sunday saw the bow of Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News at 10am. She managed to beat out Fareed Zakaria, but still fell well behind Melissa Harris-Perry.
Speaking of MSNBC, Up with Steve Kornacki managed to have the best hour AND best day on cable news Twitter; ongoing discussions of “Bridgegate” are a strong hand for him to play, it seems.
Not a lot of stand-out topics for Saturday, as the news was rather quiet around the world…
A couple of interesting observations: CNN’s mentioners were the most-male of any network, around 3-to-1. E! News is almost exactly the opposite. And with Piers Morgan now fading away from CNN, it will be interesting to see if the mentions of UK soccer start to disappear from cable news Twitter…
With both hosts back in the seat of MSNBC’s Saturday morning shows, the day was much stronger for the network that it’s been in weeks. Up with Steve Kornacki had the best hour over all, but it was a close race between it and The Melissa Harris-Perry Show.
Interesting to see that protest hashtags won the day on Friday, with #cancelcolbert and #boycottcnn taking the top two positions…
