Trending Topics in Cable News for Thursday, May 8, 2014

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-05-08

The Nigerian school girls topic was the top trender in cable news, but it lost a little energy on Thursday.  Benghazi continues at a low boil, but until there’s new news I don’t expect it to boil over again.  Both of these topics, like the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, suffer from a much longer arc that can hold the attention of the 24/7 news cycle.  Will one of them pop back up on news? Or will some new excitement come along?
