Susan Rice's top 10 neighbors are dominated by political journalists and politicians — a tightly composed cluster with no single standout score pulling away from the rest.

The shape is flat: scores run from 0.98 (Kristen Welker) down to 0.97 (Joan Walsh) with almost no gradient between them. Seven of the ten neighbors are journalists — Kristen Welker (0.98), Dana Bash (0.97), Chris Hayes (0.97), Yamiche Alcindor (0.97), John King (0.97), Rachel Maddow (0.97), and Joan Walsh (0.97). The remaining three are politicians: David Axelrod (0.97), Eric Holder (0.97), and The Hill (0.97) — though The Hill is a News Publisher, not a politician. Tallying subcategories: seven Journalists, two Politicians, one News Publisher. No other Government Official appears in the top 10; Rice's own subcategory is absent from the neighbor set entirely.

The cross-kind pattern here is the finding: a Government Official whose nearest audiences are shaped almost entirely by political media consumers — people who follow cable news anchors and political commentators — rather than by other officials or policy institutions.

This audience profile reflects a following built around political media engagement rather than institutional government identity.
