      1/ I think PG is wrong. But, I think this take and his previous ones in the same vein illustrate an error that, i) everyone is prone to; ii) no one is trying to solve because it demands thinking 'intersubjectively' (very deliberate usage here), which is real damn hard to do.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1201164712106434560 …

      Startup idea for whoever wants it: Now that formerly neutral(ish) "newspapers of record" have been forced to pick a side to avoid going out of business, there may be room for a new publication to serve that need. Can't say for sure it will work, but it's a beachhead.

      2/ As to (i), in case it wasn't obvious, Paul Graham is asserting that the NYT is increasingly less neutral. To make it more explicit, see this previous tweets, herehttps://twitter.com/paulg/status/1196747587845574657 …

      One piece of quantifiable evidence of the decline in journalism is the word-frequency data showing the NYT's dramatic shift to the left over the past 5 years. You don't shift that fast simply because the truth did. Ergo it must have come at the expense of truth.

      His "left" word selection is wild, plus a "right" word selection would certainly get the same results. What he shows in decline - war, AIDS, General Motors, church, duties - doesn't tell us anything. And as you point out, these "left" words aren't always used in positive framing.

      Do you know if it was him using the toolset or if this list was generated by Rozado?

      Generated by. It made it's way around twitter a while back after some GMU econ folks shared it a lot.

      Cool, thank you. I found Rozado's post on this, but can't quite figure the discrepancy between what I'm seeing and the tool's inability to search bigrams like budget deficit and General Motors.

          Yeah… To be fair, it doesn't seem as if they subbed in the charts for words like privilege or racism for phrases like while privilege or systemic racism. But single words without context aren't very helpful.
