Cable News was So Fetch on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 (Trending Topics on Twitter)

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-04-30

Some days cable news is like a teenage boy.  Yesterday, it was a teenage girl (or at least memories of being one), with tags related to “Mean Girls'” 10th anniversary taking second, sixth, and seventh place.  Had they been all one hashtag, they would have dominated all other tags.

Oh yeah, Benghazi.  Which brings to mind the following quote from the movie: “Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not going to happen.”
