What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

    142. I'd agree wholeheartedly with you, Mike. Uh, yes, our boy Liam totally ignored. Uh Mike, have a look at the F1 TV. Great show with Lawrence Baretta chatting with Liam. Yeah, the F1 TV is separate. A lot of the stuff. I mean, if you can hunt, and this is why mainstream TV just doesn't get the audience that it used to do. Because if you want specialist coverage, you can find it, and it comes up in all sorts of places. I watch a lot of it on YouTube. Mike, F1 on F F1 TV, paid subscription. They did highlight him a little bit at the end of his battle with Gasly. Uh, I mean, if you really want to get stuck in the weeds, you can you can buy the cameras and the whole thing, you can be on board with Liam the entire race. Uh, you talk with Ian Lawson getting a raw deal on F1, no coverage. How about Marcus Armstrong and Indicar? Yeah, that's a very good point. He was leading there for a for a split second. He was leading till he got swamped yesterday. Uh Mike, Re Liam, it's just about his market being smaller, less ad clicks, less airtime. I don't even know that it's about that. The FIA who put the pictures out, Sky Sport International just run with them. The FAI FIA seem obsessed with the usual suspects, and you can understand why. It's Verstappen, it's Ferrari, it's McLaren, it's Mercedes. Uh Mike, I'm complaining and the Eurocentric. And Sky, as a not Sky New Zealand, but Sky International sky are British centric. They argue they're not, but they are. Mike, I've completely given up on F1 because of the total ignorance of Liam. Well, that's pointless. I mean, why would you give up on a whole sport for goodness sake? Uh, totally agree with Liam. See, this had gone off, though. I can go on for hours. Formula One coverage is for the English, so features the palms and the high ranked Europeans. Mike, the reason why Liam is ignored is because of the middle finger he showed to another driver. Well, that's completely crap, and you know it. Nonsense. Right, let's bring me to the Ipsos. The Ipsos Issues poll. Now, this is this is via online forums in May. Ask bored people online some questions, you're going to get the usual suspects. But for what it's worth. Uh, inflation, the cost of living a priority issue. I mean, I could have told you that without asking anyone. Health and the economy, health is second. Why? It's because it's always second. That's what that's all people ever say. What are the most important things here? Cost of living, health, education. That's all people can think of, because it's on the spirit of the economy is third. They don't differentiate seemingly between the inflation and the cost of living in the economy. They seem in some people's minds to be completely separate issues. Fuel now, top issue for 9% of respondents. Uh it's gone from 9 to 26. It's now the fourth most important. So the cost of living, how do you differentiate fuel to the cost of living to inflation to it this one, none of this makes sense. Housing, the fifth most important. What's what's the issue with housing? What's your thing with housing? What's happening with housing? You're bit worried it's flat and you want more return, or you're a bit worried about the social house. What's it? 20 issues. Labour's considered the most capable in 11 of them. And that in itself tells you everything you need to know. What a load of nonsense. Uh, the economy nationals considered the most capable. Immigration has an issue. Now, here's the interesting thing. You can text me on this, and I know you will. I've argued all along immigration's not an issue. I'd argue we can have more people. I'd argue there is no button butter chicken tsunami. I could argue that the Peters and Co. is stirring the pot. And according to this, it's right. Immigration is an issue, has decreased from eight to six per cent.
