The Kelly File won both best hour and best day on Thursday, leaving all other shows in the dust. Ronan Farrow Daily, whose cancellation was announced yesterday, managed to come in 6th for the day as a whole, and The Reid Report, whose cancellation was also announced, came in 10th. To be fair, both those cancellations became known towards the end of the day, so perhaps they will do better on Friday.
In terms of best hour, Kelly was followed by Hannity, On The Record w/Greta Van Susteren, The Five, and Morning Joe:

ISIS beat out HBO’s Last Week Tonight’s #JeffWeCan hashtag to be the top trending topic in Cable News Twitter on Tuesday, although the show itself had the most tweets throughout the day.

If you combine #ISIS and the use of the word ISIS (without the #), then it had a clear and dominating lead over all other topics.
