Trending Topics in Cable News for Wednesday, July 16, 2014 — Gaza and the US Border

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-07-16

CNN had one of its strong days where its mentions, unique mentions, and reach just far exceed what anyone else does.  It shows the latent, and often untapped, power of the network.

In terms of trending hashtags,  #flipadistrict and #donothingdave were on the top of the list, all part of the Twitter buzz surrounding Bill Maher’s Flip-a-district project.  In terms of discussion, the events in Gaza and on the US border both were trending highly.
