Spending Cuts In Word Clouds
A fascinating contribution emailed in by All Seeing Eye reader Nick Heath which deserves crossposting at Biased-BBC. The bias in the BBC is often by perception and not often possible to quantify – but here it is.
He has done a word cloud of coverage of the Comprehensive Spending Review from the BBC News website, Sky News website and CNN…and also one of the Hansard entry for Osborne’s speech. See if, without using the names of the graphics, you could have guessed which one came from the BBC?
So, no trouble working it out at all then, was there? In the order of BBC News website, Sky News, CNN and Hansard. The particular prominence of the word Cuts in one of them gave it away.
