Crooks and Liars' top 10 neighbors span journalists, TV shows, political organizations, and activists — with no single subcategory dominating and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.86 to 0.89.

The shape is flat: All In with Chris Hayes leads at 0.89, followed closely by The Daily Edge at 0.89 (the only other News Publisher in the top 10), and Malcolm Nance at 0.88. VoteVets at 0.88 and The American Independent at 0.88 round out the top five. Tallying the subcategories across all ten neighbors: TV Shows (All In with Chris Hayes, The Beat with Ari Melber), News Publishers (The Daily Edge, The American Independent), TV Personalities (Malcolm Nance), Political Groups (VoteVets), Activists (Holly Figueroa O'Reilly), Journalists (Ali Velshi), Non-Profit (Citizens for Ethics), and Blogs (Rachel Maddow Blog). The mix is genuinely heterogeneous — no single subcategory holds more than two slots, and the neighbors span three different categories (Marketing Channels, Celebrities and Influencers, Organizations). What they share is not a format or a platform type but a consistent orientation: political commentary and accountability journalism, distributed across TV programs, individual journalists, and civic organizations alike.

The flat shape here reflects an audience that is not tightly bound to any one media format or personality type — it moves fluidly across the full ecosystem of left-leaning political media.
