Nancy! Nancy! Nancy! Nothing like a good debate with a rapper to get people talking. Nancy Grace’s talk with the rapper 2 Chainz lit up Twitter on Tuesday, giving Nancy a clean win of both best hour and best day on Cable News Twitter.
Despite that, the dominant conversation was still on the subject of events in Paris.

Sunday was a strange day, with breaking news from France disrupting many schedules. I wasn’t able to capture most of the in-flight changes, so the numbers for the day should be taken with a grain of salt.
That being said, look at how many mentions Greta got throughout the day! That’s very unusual for her. And Melissa Harris-Perry pulled in a respectable number of mentions during her two broadcast hours.
