From shortformblog:

Check out that word frequency! In case you wanted to do a real-time check of the biases of CNN vs. Fox News, this spiffy little OSX app called News Mapper does the trick. Our checks so far: CNN’s obsessed with “debt,” while Fox News has the market on “Obama” cornered. Surprisingly, though, “Boehner” is about even. This is awesome. A supergenius must’ve made this.
