The ten nearest audiences to Michael McFaul's span six distinct subcategories — journalists, authors, politicians, government officials, academics, and activists — with no single type dominating the set. That breadth, compressed into a narrow similarity band from 0.98 to 0.97, is the defining structural feature of this audience shape.
Max Boot (0.99) and Michael Beschloss (0.98) represent the Authors subcategory; Matthew Miller (0.98) and Jennifer Rubin (0.98) represent Journalists. Politicians appear in two neighbors — George Conway (0.99) and Bill Kristol (0.98) — matching McFaul's own subcategory, but they are outnumbered by the cross-kind neighbors. Government Officials account for two more: Daniel Goldman (0.98) and Norm Eisen (0.98). Neal Katyal (0.99) is the lone Academic, and Amy Siskind (0.98) the lone Activist in the top 10.
The flat shape and the tight score range together indicate an audience that does not cluster tightly around any single neighbor type — it overlaps broadly and nearly equally with political commentary, legal analysis, journalism, and civic advocacy all at once.
