UCLA's idea was correct but became subjective
They seemed to start out on the right track, but then got subjective with who said what, and how that was played, or what innuendo was poised as news, etc.
They should have not gone there, as it allowed a bias against objectivity, by recognizing those things as actual issues, and not the op-eds they are.

I see this all the time, in the methods of analysis, and a truthful review, should not mention one name, one claim or one quote.
It should be a far more generalized observation, to assure the results are not tainted, by subjective events and personalities.

It's a good article, in the attempt, but really fell apart quickly.
"...a standard gauge of a lawmaker's support for liberal causes."

Those 'causes' are what the media reported on, when the study should have precluded those short term events-as-issues approach, that the media is currently pre-occupied with.

I can't see a relation of law making and news reading.
