This project is a web based application that allows users to pick a week and displays comparative word cloud visuals of the left and right wings of the political spectrum. The goal of this project is to provide an easy-to-understand illustration of what types of topics and ideas may be trending in a particular week. This helps us gain a better understanding of of the political and social issues that are currentlybeing discussed and debated within different ideological groups across the broader online media ecosystem.
