Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-01-16
While The Ed Show had the best hour during the day, there was something more interesting afoot yesterday. This tweet:
Got retweeted so many times (over 18K times at the time I took the screen shot) that it twitter bombed the tag cloud for the day. It may end up putting AC 360 in the top spot for today (1/17).
It’s an example of how social media can be overcome by waves of tweets (and retweets) that drown out other conversations, but in the long run don’t really have a lasting meaning or impact.
Top Shows for the day:
| Category | Mentions | Show |
