Excerpt:

"The evidence at this point I think is very, very convincing that it was not a lone gunman." — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. He added that his father thought the Warren Commission, which concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, was a "shoddy piece of craftsmanship." "It's a glass 62 percent full. It's well worth the effort." — Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on a study that found that this year's flu vaccine appears to be 62 percent effective, about as well as it has in past flu seasons.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
