Is there bias in news reports?

A Team Project

I provide links to two recently publiched articles. One comes from en established liberal periodical and the other from an established conservative periodical. Are certain words more common from one side of the political spectrum? Your assignment is to find out if liberals like certain words and conservatives like others.

Specifically, you should write a program that will read an article, parse each line into words, and keep track of how many times each word occurred. Run this program for each of the two articles and print out the 20 most frequently appearing words in each article.

Article One

Article Two

You may think you need to use a StringTokenizer, but it turns out that is old programming. The better thing to use is

string.split(regex). Read about it here.

This is a team project:

TEAM 1:  Grant Fomin and TingWen Yin

TEAM 2: Jacob Ehrman, Jacob Iwaniac, Hodong Kim
