The FBI wants to know how it’s perceived in the media.
The Washington Times reports that the FBI is hiring a contractor to categorize news stories as “positive,” “neutral” or negative.”
But what the FBI plans to do with the information remains unclear. The FBI also wouldn’t divulge why it wants the information.
During the five-year contract, the winning bidder would “use their judgment” to score news coverage every day.
The Times wrote that President Obama’s administration also gave grades to measure media coverage of the BP oil spill.
