_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     Rows of this data matrix correspond to raters and columns to news
     outlets. The entry in the ith row and jth columns corresponds to
     the rating given by rater i to news outlet j. These ratings are on
     a five point scale: 1 = "Awful", 2 = "Poor", 3 = "Average", 4 =
     "Very Good", and 5 = "Great". NA values indicate that the rater in
     question did not rate the news outlet in question. 

     The first 12 columns of the data matrix have the full names of the
     news outlets so that the analysis in Ho and Quinn (forthcoming)
     can be replicated. The remaining news outlets are not named due to
     a confidentiality agreement with Mondo Times.
