Robert Reich's top 10 neighbors span activists, journalists, politicians, authors, a TV show, and a comedian — a dense, politically engaged cluster with no single dominant pull. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.99 down to 0.97, a narrow band that defines the flat shape.
David Hogg (0.99) sits at the top, followed closely by author Sarah Kendzior (0.98) and The Late Show (0.98). Tallying the subcategories across the full top 10: journalists lead with three entries — Steve Kornacki (0.97), Aaron Rupar (0.97), and Jake Tapper (0.97) — followed by activists with three (David Hogg, Charlotte Clymer at 0.97, Sarah Chadwick at 0.97), politicians with two (Ted Lieu at 0.98, Rep. Katie Porter at 0.97), and one author and one comedian rounding out the set. Reich's own subcategory — Politicians — accounts for only two of the ten neighbors, meaning the audience shape is defined less by fellow politicians than by the journalist and activist orbit surrounding progressive political discourse. The one TV show entry, The Late Show, is the sole media channel in the top 10.
The flat shape and compressed score range signal an audience that is broadly shared across a specific political-media ecosystem rather than concentrated around any single peer.
