1. From looking at this

one could surmise that the powers to be, (Owners of the Press,) (Rich folks,) are trying to push a couple of them off on us

Bernie is kicking ass and hardly gets mentioned. Our next President BTW.

Peace

6. Don Combover's Q-Score was off the charts to begin with.

Guy had his own tee vee shows for a long time, firing sad people, apprenticing photogenic interns, checking out silicone enhanced women in swimsuits...



Mr. Low Energy didn't see it coming.

2. It is not ONLY how often they are mentioned but in what context. Favorable or unfavorable.

[amborin]

3. yes, and that's always the limitation of the content analysis word count software programs

unless, as some argue, getting mentioned at all is considered good

[Octafish]

4. Excellent point. True Content Analysis will help us understand the context and bias...

... and all the rest. That, unfortunately, requires people who know what they're doing, resources and time. They'll come in 2018, 2019...

As for getting mentioned at all, it's Trump's go-to:

All publicity is good publicity and free publicity is best of all.

[JackRiddler]

5. Also, the meaning of mentioned.

How much time to each? How much time OF each speaking? If Trump is up 2:1 on the nearest competitor (Clinton) it's not just mentions but probably a time difference greater than that.

And negative helps Trump (at least until it leads to him being hauled off in handcuffs for one of his many frauds, if the happy day should come). He has set it up so that negative helps him, he's very good at that. And most is not "negative" but more just spectacular. Oooh, golly, you'll never believe what this guy did today.

The Sanders coverage in particular from the beginning (and it didn't begin to rise until well into this year!) was always of the dismissive, sneering, "oh what's this old boring guy doing?"

7. Thanks to you and other DUers (past and present) we now recognize perception management at a glance!

Not all of US though. K&R

8. Now how can we unify

When you berniebros post obviously false data?
