The spill over from Monday night’s interview between Stephen Colbert and President Obama drove The Colbert Report’s daily mentions on Tuesday through the roof. Winning best hour was The Kelly File, followed by Hannity, Morning Joe, Chris Hayes, and The Five:

The Colbert Report was noteworthy as broadcast from George Washington University in DC, and almost the entire show was an interview with President Obama. Had I included mentions of the President, the Report would have probably won.

The top topic for Sunday was the ongoing discussion around policing and race. But I want to make a note about the second place topic as well:
The events of December 7, 1941 reverberated around Cable News Twitter on Sunday. For many of us, Pearl Harbor predates our birth, that is true, but the effects of that day still touch our lives in so many ways.
Would the USA have entered World War II without it? Probably, but not certainly. The country we know today would not be the same had we not, that is for sure. For many of us, our parents served in the war, came home, and got a college education that might never have happened, and put our families into the middle class. For others, unfortunately, the ongoing indignities of discrimination at home were merely the next battlefield.
My father’s parents did not have college educations, but he got one, as did I, and the next generation has as well. We are all beneficiaries of the GI Bill in that way. Pearl Harbor was the spark that lit the fire with which our modern era was forged.
