The Lodestar papers

[Vigilante]

Mike Pence LodeStar

@peek-a-boo

And 1,000+ other officials in multiple departments.

My point was that Pence would not be referred to as a senior administration official and neither would Trump. They would be referred to as the President and Vice President respectively.

Uh, no. It’s anonymous, remember?

Depending on how much of a machine learning geek you are, you might find this article interesting:

Who wrote the anti-Trump New York Times op-ed? Using tidytext to find document similarity – Variance Explained

It’s some nice data science analysis with text mining along the lines of word usage and such.

Interesting but I see an immediate flaw. He used as his comparison group, white house staff, when the article claimed a much wider group as the possible author, ie senior administration official.

@Vigilante

A Democrat?

Yes if they win the house midterms

[MichaelScarn]

Imagine if the NYT published an anonymous op-ed from a Vice President in the administration

@Vigilante

So I asked this on the Resistance thread but it wasnt getting any play so I will see if I can get some here.

I saw one or 2 comments about Lodestar. A word I had never even heard of until yesterday and apparently a word that Mike Pence uses often. Its a few hundred posts since I last looked but have you guys discussed Lodestar? Being that Pence cant be fired I would love to be in the same room when He and trump are in it for the first time. Do you really think it appropriate for a sitting VP to backstab the P like this? Is Pence a Rat or a Patriot?

What are the ramifications for Pence? What kind of POTUS will we have as one being so devisive to gain the office?

Man, you are really gullible. The chances are the NYT op ed was actually written by New York Times staff employees. They are the “anonymous” writers.

Yeah, a world renowned paper is going to fake an op-ed. Don’t believe everything you’ve seen over the last 3 years. Believe the conspiracy. Trump is the smartest person, so smart. Biggest brain. He has the best brain. Trump isn’t impulsive. This trump, op-ed thing with the op-ed and Trump. He had to accuse people of treason because it was a distraction. What you’re seeing and hearing isn’t what’s happening. Truth isn’t truth.

Oh, give it a break. The anonymous op ed was more than likely written by NYT employees who have Trump Derangement Syndrome

What odds are you giving on this one? Or is it more like this:

Dumb and Dumber- So you're telling me there's a chance

[MichaelScarn]

So you’re going on record saying there’s a greater than 50% chance that the new york times faked an op-ed that everyone knew would dominate the news cycle, and would forever ruin the prestige of the paper?

Loosen that red hat, it’s squeezing all the blood out of your brain.

I’m going on record as follows:

I have studied the Op-Ed and it appears there was more than one author. In addition, the authors express a very deep hatred for President Trump, each in a different way that reflects a different personality.

But heck, it’s just my opinion. Perhaps we need to get a professional profiler to give their opinion.

The unavoidable truth is, the Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ and Andrew Gillum’s socialist plan for “free” college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.

[GrandWazoo]

I’m going with Kellyanne also. She would have a lot to gain if she admitted to the fact when everything falls apart.

[Apocalypto]

I’m beginning to think it’s Kellyann as well, didn’t she work for the Ted Cruz presidential campaign?

[Demon]

Of course it isn’t, but it would be too perfect if it was Ivanka.

My goodness, you do have an active imagination.

Nowhere near as active as yours, covering your ears and eyes, pretending that the NYT’s allowed their own staff to write this piece, knowing full well that the actual author will be unmasked. I’ve never seen someone quite as detached from reality as you on this one John.

Cynic beyond cynic arent you yet you are ready to believe the most wildest conspiracy theory’s out there. That in itself tells me the NYT is a valid one.

That’s a good point. I took the analysis as being more inspirational about learning about how people do this sort of analysis than the conclusions themselves (which in my opinion are effectively inconclusive).

Like I said, detached from reality. Wowza.

When the actual author is unmasked, proving you wrong here, will you admit it?
