In doing our analysis of the articles for major news sources we were able to answer several questions. By tagging the emotional language in five articles for each news site, it became apparent that FOX and CNN using the most emotional language words and are therefore, as we expected, the most bias of the four new sources followed by NPR and BBC, which we also expected would be the least biased as it is not based in the United States as are the others. We also uncovered that the topic of the Election Results, of all the topics used the most emotional language and therefore exhibited the most bias. This was followed closely by the Women's March. Meanwhile, articles on the Travel Ban had the least amount of bias. To see more about this, view the networks on the Language page under Analysis.
