Counting political party stories on Google News

I am *not* accusing anyone of coverage bias. I’d bet that Google News’s story inclusion algorithms probably reflect what people are linking to and discussing generally.

Google News: “Republican Party”: 11,579 stories

Google News: “Tea Party”: 22,977 stories

Google News: “Democratic Party”: 15,668 stories

Fascinating.
