Wow, what an amazing day for Fox News’ Cashin’ In!

Here are the top 30 shows for the day, which starkly shows Cashin In’s distance from second place:

Thursday saw a return to normal in Cable News Twitter with Hannity winning best hour and best day. (I suppose you could say that normal was for The Kelly File to win best hour instead, although Kelly hasn’t been as consistent of a winner lately).

As a result, #NewDay (the hashtag for the so named CNN show) was the top topic.
