Piers Morgan is crushing it again. I really must do an analysis to figure out what his tweeps are talking about.
Also, today saw the debut of Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Fox and Friends. The show came on strong on Twitter with its new hashtag, #BetterWithFriends. It’s probably better with Elisabeth, to be fair.
Given the day’s events in Washington DC, it should be no surprise that the shooting was a big aspect of what was being talked about on Twitter; nearly 25% of all tweets that mentioned a cable news show also mentioned “shoot” (or variants), “navy”, or “murder”. “Syria”, on the other hand, was in about 2% of the tweets. Many more people mentioned “Hasselbeck”. And Obamacare. Of course, nobody was talking about the debt limit…
Here’s the numbers for the day:
