[FRIAM] interactive media bias chart

[Steve Smith]

Great find!   I admit to being taken by this chart when I first found
it, simply (or most notably?) because I was so hungry for it.

I appreciate the analysis in the linked article, but I attribute a lot
of the use(full-less)ness of the chart to it's significant dimension
reduction, and the specific choice of basis space.  

It seems *we* visited another acute reduction a few months back with
what I took to be a strong self-image bias at the time:
