Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-02-02
The untimely death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman and the Super Bowl were the top trending topics in cable news related Twitter on Sunday. I would say that the construction of that sentence was awkward, implying an untimely death of the Super Bowl, but given the blow out, perhaps the ambiguity isn’t that bad.
Chris Christie, the previous day’s winner, fell off the radar, which tends to make me think that as news about him comes out it doesn’t stick. If I were on Team Christie, I’d breathe a sigh of relief. Still, it looks like it could be a death of a thousand cuts. Governor Christie is going to have to find a way to either change the conversation about him or at least drown out the negative conversation lest people think of him only in the context of the scandals. Some photos of him with puppies and kittens may be called for.
