How was the story scored? As being *neutral* to Trump (-0.0176). Now I think the story was fair and accurate (it's accurate to report that Trump poses big threats to democracy). Still, if this is the sort of story you want more of, the algorithm isn't helping to ID them. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

I also looked at how FiveThirtyEight stories were classified, and again it's fairly random. Here is a story we did on Trump/GOP efforts to undermine democracy, for example. Exactly the sort of story that @Milbank says there should be more of (I agree). 6/ https://t.co/EgipxruBBf — PolitiTweet.org

Designing good algorithms is hard, but this is an especially bad one. And as a news consumer, you should be extremely wary of statistical methodologies you don't understand but that confirm your priors. 8/8 — PolitiTweet.org
