Cable News Trending Topics for January 30, 2014 — MSNBC becomes the News!

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-01-30

As explained in the detailed ratings for the day, a tweet from MSNBC that implied right wingers are racially intolerant dwarfed all other news items in terms of discussion around cable news shows.  The top shows for the day were actually conversation about the network, not any particular show.

Of course, the #myrightwingbiracialfamily hashtag’s dominance is very predictable in what passes for political debate this country: one side seizes upon some bit of stupidity on the other side to gloat and express their own superiority, virtue, and victimhood.

And, of course, there will shortly arise a new outrage du jour and this will fade.  But for a brief glorious moment, bi-racial right wing families stepped into the spotlight
