IControlThePast said:The study's been refuted. Did you not read my post at all where I refuted it? Did you stop after my link? How can it claim to be accurate if it eliminated 78% of the stories in Fox News because they had editorials. Just look at how many think tanks Fox was given credit for citing in the paper, not many. Editorials are where the bias comes in. This study does not account for editorials at all.
I've also shown how the scoring method is flawed. Read my post. What generally happens in academia, is that if something is well respected, it is published in print, instead of being just a "link." Book are more well respected than articles, but books do not come in electronic form for free. I have given you a book that offers up another study with different evidence. There's your "link." Chomsky is part of the MIT PoliSci Dept, which is one of the top three in the country. I'm not faulting the "replication" part of this study, you can do it again and again by the same methods and recieve the same results. I am faulting the methedology.
Once again, which study. BTW, linguistics is NOT political science. He IS however clever with words.
