Even news people use wordle...

Even the Economist uses wordle. They took the State of the Union text and analyzed what the output was. Its sort of interesting that you can tell what side the website leans towards just by focusing on what words weren't mentioned and which were. But I noticed that one of the biggest words, "people" the article didn't have anything to respond to; but, they made sure to mention that China wasn't mentioned and even drew the conclusion that working with china was an underlying message of the speech. I guess it is interesting that people can take any form of analysis to prove whatever point they want by framing it.
