There was no very dominant topic in Cable News on Sunday, although Obama and Iran trended towards the top. Fox News’ Saturday Show, Cashin’ In, had its hashtag, #WakeUpAmerica, trend at the very top of the list:

Be aware that the count of words and hashtags is only in the context of tweets that mention specific Cable News shows, not in general. Thus, for example, the total number of mentions of #tcot on Twitter will be several orders of magnitude higher than shown in the graph (I estimate it’s about 70K tweets yesterday in total).
Ferguson was the top, but not dominant topic on Cable News Twitter Thursday. Eric Bolling’s #WakeUpAmerica hashtag trended at the very top, boosted by his guest hosting of The O’Reilly Factor.
