Cable News Trending Topics for 2015-02-12
The Chapel Hill shootings continued to dominate the conversation on Cable News Twitter on Thursday. I thought perhaps that the passing of the NY Times’ David Carr would have gotten higher in the discussion, but since it was not being discussed in the context of Cable News shows, my filters missed a lot of the conversation.
Still, I estimate that there were roughly 70K tweets that mentioned him yesterday, which made him a huge topic of conversation (just not in relation to Cable News shows).
Here’s the top 30 items from the day:
