See? Pivot TV’s “Raising McCain” had the power to bring people together, primarily to laugh at Meghan McCain. At least people are watching, right?
Pivot president Evan Shapiro apparently can’t be happy with that. Yes, #RaisingMcCain is trending, but as so many conservative hashtag hijacks have demonstrated, just because something is trending doesn’t mean it’s popular.
The only 5 people legit interested in watching #raisingmccain are her friends/family, the rest seem to be watching for the trainwreck she is

Maybe “Raising McCain” will be a monster hit; perhaps it’ll emerge as Pivot’s breakaway success. How can it fail when the president of the network is doing audience outreach like this?
This show is so amateurish, you’d think the channel just launched or something. #RaisingMcCain

"I'm smart enough not to put dumb sh*t on the internet anymore…" So she doesn't run her Twitter account? #RaisingMcCain

I going to guess that’s not how @pivot_tv envisioned the hashtag conversation going. #RaisingMcCain

We apologize in advance if we’ve gotten bad information and Evan Shapiro isn’t really the president of a television network. His bio does say he’s an adjunct professor of television management at NYU’s Stern School of Business and a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, so yeah, that touch of douchiness about him is very likely not an act.
Anthony Weiner has apparently found a new gig running @eshap Twitter account. #RaisingMcCain
