I wonder if someone could invent a "hatefulness index" of press invective against an incumbent President, and plot that against Bush's "approval" index over the years ..... and then Obama's.

Wonder what that would show?

Even better, would be a technique to prove, statistically, mindless bias in journalism, and generate a vectored index of that.

Fortunately, the database will be preserved ..... patiently awaiting the genius who'll figure out a mathematical expression to prove and quantify bias and lying in journal content.
