2007 Rankings
Beginning today, the rankings reflect only 2007 columns. As usual, the rankings can be expected to flop around quite a bit in the first couple of months due to small sample sizes.
Some changes for this year:
- I’m now evaluating Joe Conason’s columns from both Salon and the New York Observer, to address the question of whether his partisanship score might be systematically different between the two sources.
- Because retrieving columns from Townhall.com has become more difficult, I’m now trying to get columns by several pundits from Jewish World Review instead.
- Molly Ivins wrote two columns before her passing; I’ll be looking for another liberal pundit to put on the roster in her place (suggestions welcome). I’m also not sure why Michael Kinsley has not written a column this year.
