+I have been wondering for a long time what would sentiment differences look based on political leaning from popular publications. Is it the left that is more optimistic, center or the right.
+
+> Before people loose their minds, I don't care about political stuff and this is data we are talking about and not my personal feelings about it. So, before saying anything have this in mind and let data speak for itself.
+
+## Preparing the data
+
+The first step in getting stories from publications so we can start doing sentiment analysis on it. I have chosen to select 30 publications. 10 from left leaning publications, 10 from centre and 10 from right leaning ones.
+
+To find out leaning of a publication I will defer to AllSides website which provide a [Media Bias Ratings](https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/ratings).
+
+![AllSides Bias Chart](https://www.allsides.com/sites/default/files/AllSidesMediaBiasChart-Version6_0.jpg)
+
+The chart above is taken from AllSides and demonstrates political leaning of publications. This data changes over time and AllSides have made the revisions publicly available on their website.

+They categorise political bias AllSides came up with is:
+
+TODO: CREATE A HORIZONTAL ARRAY STYLE OF CHART IMAGE
+
+- Left,
+- Lean Left,
+- Center,
+- Lean Right,
+- Right.
+
+I will group Left and Lean Left together. And the same goes for Lean Right and Right. So we end up with three groups [Left, Center, Right].
+
+The list I have ended up with contains these publications:
