Freepers with: full LexisNexis access & Combinatorial Search IT Pros.JournOlist Pattern Matching

I have a rough concept here that I am willing to work with to find a larger subset of JournOlist contributors, but more importantly, to find pattern matching phrases used by multiple JournOlists to plant memes in the mainstream media.

Steps: 1. Combinatorial pattern matching searches in LexisNexis using JournOlists names. 2. Databasing those articles 3. Grokking pattern matches phrases inside those articles, also including the database of leaked JournOlist email exchanges from the maillists. 4. After finding pattern matches, using those patterns for further LexisNexis searches... to map the extent of the sphere of influence the JournOlist group had, but also to discover yet to be known members of the group. 5. Creating a reporting mechanism, possibly interactive graphs, to publicly report on findings.

Should be able to expose the core groups of each meme, the exponential rate of influence, the timeline in newscycles the group had, and the ability of the group to alter newscycles in a persistent manner to further their ends.

The level of discussion (and even disgust) and outrage shown so far by Beck, Fox News, etc is not going to drive the point home. It is too casual, and has no lasting impact but to reinforce already held biases of the self selecting audiences.

Putting together a fuller picture, and doing so quickly before the election season, is the way forward here.

Will need people with LexisNexis access, regressive and combinatorial pattern matching algo IT coding experience, databsing experience, some grokking experience, and depending on the reporting mechanism, possibly some Information Visualization programming.

Just a thought, a bit above what I would regularly post on FR, and maybe something closer to what a endowed organization could afford...

Godspeed to you on this.
Remember, LexisNexis and the like may be in on the take.

searches in LexisNexis

Try Google.

You may not agree with the corporate politics but the search engine is the best.

Interesting and worthy concept. How about contacting Accuracy in Media (AIM). It drives me nuts when I hear the same talking point and comments repeated all day long by various representatives of the left. Don’t they have an original thought?

I get almost as irate when I hear the right talking about their “brand”. Good Grief! They are as arrogant as Obama.

Sounds great! You’ll probably also identify some serious plagiarism while you’re at it.

I shall make an effort to drop that into a boring work meeting next week.
Thanks.

Ya gotta QUANTIFY, baby!

How do you get lexis/nexis access?

[pennboricua]

you purchase it.

It sounds like it would work. But in the end, all you're going to prove is what we already know, albeit something the Left will not admit -- that the media are overwhelmingly biased against conservatives.

And if you're thinking that empirical, objective evidence will force them into a corner, think again. Accuracy in Media has documented occurrences of pejorative adjectives in articles about conservatives versus complimentary adjectives in articles about liberals, even when the situations being described are nearly identical, and the evidence weighed decisively in favor of the libs.

But the offenders simply pooh-poohed the accusations and held to the standard denial.

But hard evidence can't ever hurt. Eventually, maybe the Truth will blind the liars.

You said “what?” LOL!

I wish Icould help but I have no clue what you just posted.

I am almost positive Kirsten Powers is on the “J” List.

“You may not agree with the corporate politics but the search engine is the best.”

A Google search does not have things that went to print, unless they somehow also made it to the Internet, in some form.

LexisNexis covers anything that makes it to print (IN ANY FORM OF PRINT FROM ANY VENUE WHATSOEVER).

So, the only thing additional about a Google search result is if it never made it to print anyway.

I would use LexisNexis and then I would use Google only to add what never made it to print. There is too much that is printed but which only makes it to print, and therefor too much that a Google search will not find. Let the Google search do what it can do best - identify the Internet only items.
