	A hat trick for The Melissa Harris-Perry Show: best hour, best day, and the highest ranking hashtag.
No real topics dominated cable news on Sunday, but I want to call out one interesting thing: Fox News’ hashtag #CashinIn made the top ten list, based in part upon a discussion of gun control with Juan Williams.
It was very much an MSNBC day on Twitter Friday: The Ed Show had the best hour, Morning Joe the best day overall, and MSNBC as a network had the most mentions across all its shows. #SOSVenezuela, which had been aggressively filling the mentions of various shows, was starting to die down.
The Rachel Maddow Show was the most popular show during its broadcast on Thursday, but once again it was because of the almost-spam-like deluge of #SOSVenezuela messages. Still, I guess it’s better than #HottieOfTheWeek.
From the list of words, the most popular conversational topics appear to be the Fort Hood shooting and the Supreme Court decision on campaign financing.
