I ran the latest news anchor Rachel Maddow transcript through a word analyzer and noticed she overutilized the phrase "january 6" a full 36 times on her show.
Are there any other tools we can use to quantify this outrageous bias in our supposedly objective democracy?

If you want more stuff like this you should read manufacturing consent by Noam Chomsky. It's chock full of examples exactly like this and is pretty eye opening

someone should make a video of her hammering out all the nodes in a row from the actual sequence of the show: "january 6 january 6 january 6 january 6 white supremacists january 6 january 6 trump trump trump"
it's getting boring at this point.

If you want to make a point about systemic media bias, you need to look at time spent covering various topics across different programs over an extended period of time. Your analysis here only tells us that the main topic on one episode of one show was January 6th. I could have told you that by reading the first sentence of the first paragraph of the introduction to the transcript. No analysis needed.

You'd need to look for clustering too as ideological propaganda typically will use multiple different angles of attack.

Damn, a news anchor talked about current events. Somebody call the police. You are already injecting your bias and assuming the results, your experiment won't work if you think like that. If you're unwilling to utilize the scientific method, this thread belongs on /pol/ and not /sci/

The worst thing about this situation is seeing how hopelessly brainwashed other people are. You can't even talk about the reality of the situation without sounding like a looney. The intelligence services and media did an impressive job. Very powerful persuasion and psychological skills.

Go back to pol. This has nothing to do with science, and as this anon points out >>14093899 you are approaching the topic in a biased, partisan, and anti-scientific manner, since you already said that your goal is basically to "own the libs" and find flaws in Rachel Maddow.
Speaking of which, why are incels and poltards so obsessed with Rachel Maddow? Is because she points out all of the retarded shit that right winger and conspiracy theorists do on a regular basis, and that make you guys feel retarded? Seems like the best explanation to me.

You realize she's not news. When people sue her for lying about them she uses the Alex Jones defense of "I'm just entertainment and it's so obvious that no one could possibly think otherwise." She's literally Alex Jones tier schizo shit. Unfortunately, there's a lot of legitimately retarded people (e.g., this Anon >>14094055) who actually do think she's news lol.

>Alex Jones defense
Don't just attribute this defense to the crackpot on the right, why not also mention that Tucker Carlson, the right's most prolific "entertainer" (and the person who Alex Jones just recently called the most important person in the world) also uses this defense. All cable news is a sham, and anyone who pays for this garbage should be lobotomized.

As far as I know, Alex Jones famously used it first. But since I hate all politics and all news and avoid it as much as I can, I may very well be wrong about the origin.

Alex Jones used that defense in a custody battle to defend his character to a judge, where his lawyer told the judge that he was just playing a character. Tucker Carlson used the defense in a defamation lawsuit regarding something he said on his news show, saying that "no reasonable viewer would take him seriously." Maddow used the same sort of defense in a defamation lawsuit, where the defense argued that "viewers know she's offering exaggeration, not fact." In any case, all three are clowns but you might as well expose them all.

you're an unapologetic racist, how does it feel to use "jews" as an epithet and then offering excuses for why "its ok when i do it" instead of apologizing when called out using racist language.
do you enjoy being an unapologetic racist or are you going to apologize and admit that you were wrong and stop using racial epithets out of one corner of your mouth while accusing others of being racist and demanding your own innocence out of the other corner of your mouth?

Properly utilized property damage can destroy minds. Until everyone who isn't a member of the ruling clan loses the ability to own property. Even if it is technically allowed.
