Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-07-26
The balance of mentions on Saturday remain with Israel, but with Gaza starting to gain strength as well. Events in Ukraine have dropped way low in discussions, perhaps due to no new news to speak of.

It’s interesting to see that now that the conversation about the middle east has shifted from Gaza to Israel, the loudest (or at least most numerous) voices are on the side of Fox News.
The conversation on Thursday focused on Israel, revealing two interesting things: the lack of news on Malaysia Airlines’ plane and passengers has started to quiet that topic and the focus in the mid-east has shifted from Gaza to Israel. It’s also interesting that Hannity’s show yesterday got the best engagement, and it was notable for his hectoring a guest about Hamas. But Hamas barely appears in the top words list.
After 1 Direction preempted the Internet yesterday, we’re back to talking about the Malaysia Airlines crash and Israel/Gaza.

An interesting day in Twitter with hashtags that you don’t normally find in US cable news shows. First is #jamesesreal, which is for newly signed Real Madrid soccer player James Rodriguez. Second is #1yearofbse, which is for the one year anniversary of the band 1 Direction’s “Best Song Ever” song.
Both of these hashtags were “hijacked” by people protesting the Israeli bombing of Gaza, which filled Twitter with pictures of mangled children.
