Sally Yates's nearest audiences are dominated by journalists — six of the top 10 neighbors carry that subcategory — with government officials, professionals, and authors filling the remaining slots and no fellow politician appearing until well outside the top 10.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.00 means the audiences are nearly indistinguishable in shape. The top 10 span a tight band from 0.99 to 0.98, the hallmark of a flat shape: no single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Natasha Bertrand leads at 0.99, followed closely by Katy Tur at 0.99 and James Comey at 0.99 — the only Government Official in the set. Preet Bharara (0.99, Professionals) and Asha Rangappa (0.99, Journalists) round out the top five. Further down, Molly Jong-Fast (0.99, Authors) is the sole Author in the top 10, and John Harwood (0.99) and Jim Acosta (0.98) extend the journalist cluster. Sally Yates's own subcategory — Politicians — does not appear anywhere in the top 10; the nearest neighbor set is almost entirely journalists and adjacent media-facing professionals, not other political figures.
That pattern points to an audience shaped less by partisan or electoral interest than by close attention to political journalism and legal accountability coverage.
