Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-03-14
A strange divergence on Twitter Friday: In terms of hashtags, the tag #McConnelling took top spot, driven by Jon Stewart’s launching of the Internet meme. Conversely, in terms of actual words people used in their tweets, the missing Malaysia Airline’s plane dominated the conversation.
Shameless plug: My video for #McConnelling, where I recast Mitch as “Smiling Mitch” from the Enzyte male-enhancement pill commercials.
