Figure 6: Joint probability density for negative sentiment and party slant score. Solid line is the averaged trend. We see that D-slanted media are positively correlated with Theta while R-slanted media are negatively correlated (r: correlation coefficient; p: p-value).

Table 1: Slant scores Theta for major news outlets and most slanted blogs. For party slant, a positive (negative) score means the outlet is likely to be D-slanted (R-slanted). For front-runner and regional slant, a larger score indicates the outlet is more focused on few particular legislators or states.
Figure 3: The scatter plot of number of references (observations) against party (left) and front-runner (right) slant scores for News and Blogs. Outlets with less than 20 articles are not shown.
