Cable News Twitter Ratings for Tuesday, May 20 — Colbert Bump
Some days the news is funny — or at least it’s made to be funny. And on Tuesday, the Colbert Report won both best hour and best day on Twitter, just narrowly beating The Ed Show.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Monday, May 19, 2014 – Hannity Sweeps
It was Hannity by a nose on Monday as he eked out a win for Best Hour and a more convincing win for Best Day, giving him a clean sweep of the day.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Sunday, May 18, 2014 – Dorian Mode
A split decision on Sunday — The Melissa Harris-Perry Show, with guest host Dorian Warren, won the best hour of the day, while Up with Steve Kornacki had the best day overall.
Note: Starting this week, I’ve eliminated E! News from the ratings. It’s not so much that they didn’t deserve to “win” when they did as they often obscured the news topics that were getting attention. There’s no way the “Hottie of the week” was ever a real news topic; but it often ended up being the most talked about.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Saturday, May 17, 2014 — MHP Shows them up!
The Melissa Harris-Perry Show took Best Hour on Saturday during the 11am hour, as frequently happens. No other show broke through the 1000 mentions mark. Since the show has a substitute host scheduled for Sunday, it will be a more open race for the top spot on the back half of the weekend.
Sean Hannity had the best day, which is not surprising either. In the case of Hannity, he has one of the top 10 conservative hashtags, and so his hashtag gets wide and constant usage.
