The top 10 neighbors for RealClearPolitics span six distinct subcategories — journalists, a research organization, a politician, an author, a TV personality, and an academic — with National Review (0.95) the only fellow News Publisher in the set.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.95 down to 0.93 with no single neighbor pulling away from the pack. Journalists make up the largest single subcategory, with Jonah Goldberg (0.95), S.E. Cupp (0.94), and George F. Will (0.93) all placing in the top six. But the remaining seven slots go to markedly different kinds of entities: Cato Institute (0.95) as a Research Organization, Frank Luntz (0.94) as a Professional, Mitt Romney (0.93) as a Politician, Max Boot (0.93) as an Author, Willie Geist (0.93) as a TV Personality, and Larry Sabato (0.93) as an Academic. The audience shape here is not anchored to a single type of entity — it cuts across commentary, analysis, and political media in roughly equal measure.
The flat, cross-kind distribution suggests an audience that follows political information broadly rather than clustering tightly around any one format or voice.
