Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-12-11
Thursday was a day full of tweet-worthy topics: The torture report, police killings, budget shenanigans. So what won out? The top topic was congressional staffers walking out to protest police violence, followed by torture and Stephen Colbert:
The top word for the day, “just”, appears in several unrelated tweets with multiple meanings. Some mean now, as in the phrase “just in”. Some are in the sense of only, like “just him”. A few are in the sense of justice. But there’s no consistent usage I can discern to make it a topic unto itself.
