Saturday was an outstanding day for Cashin’ In, with more mentions than any other Saturday in August, September, October, or November (and I stopped looking before August so it could be “ever”).  I would be tempted to say this is “peak Cashin’ In”, but you know how D.C. loves to sneak unpleasant things out when no one’s looking, so I’m betting there’s something interesting awaiting us all on Black Friday …

Following Cashin’ In for best hour were The Melissa Harris-Perry Show (both hours), Up with Steve Kornacki (both hours), and Judge Jeanine.  And Cashin’ In had more mentions than all the other 5 hours combined:

One of the perils of doing this as a non-profit amateur (in the best sense of that word) project is that I don’t always have the time necessary to stay on top of things 100%.

My apologies to Ms. VS, who does a formidable job of getting social media engagement.

Consider the luck of The Kelly File: the President announces his immigration action during O’Reilly, leaving Kelly to follow-on with a facts-in-hand discussion of the breaking news.  And Twitter responded, giving Megyn Kelly the best day and best hour.

Following Megyn was Hannity, Chris Hayes & Rachel Maddow (who tag teamed to cover the President’s speech), and Anderson Cooper:
