Cable News Twitter Ratings for Friday, July 18, 2014 — Anderson Cooper & Bill Maher
Anderson Cooper won the best hour on Friday, no doubt to CNN’s coverage of the plane crash in Ukraine. Bill Maher won the day overall, based upon his discussion of the situation in Gaza. What’s interesting is that the plane crash is (at this point) mostly a non-partisan, fact based issue, the Gaza discussion is very politically charged. And so the middle-ground network, CNN, dominates the plane crash conversation while partisan shows (like Bill Maher’s) dominate the conversation about Gaza.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for July 17, 2014: CNN and Ukraine
The ratings for Thursday are probably somewhat inaccurate owing to the unscheduled coverage of the MH17 crash. The trending topics report showed that CNN dominated the conversation overall, as one might expect. So take these numbers with a grain of salt: the Kelly file had the best hour while the Colbert Report had the best day overall.

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-07-16
CNN had one of its strong days where its mentions, unique mentions, and reach just far exceed what anyone else does. It shows the latent, and often untapped, power of the network.
In terms of trending hashtags, #flipadistrict and #donothingdave were on the top of the list, all part of the Twitter buzz surrounding Bill Maher’s Flip-a-district project. In terms of discussion, the events in Gaza and on the US border both were trending highly.
