Factoriser poll

The news this side of the pond has of late been full of apologies after the publication of the Hillsborough report. Like all similar reports, it's simply a blame exercise which has inflamed public opinion in an effort to curry favour and has achieved very little save for the inevitable compensation claims. The Factoriser exists to sift the internet for all references to the subject of a projected report and allocate them a factor of importance/relevance. The report cannot be generated without including analysis of the material. For example, if a core fact is that fans of one team routinely gatecrash matches without paying and have a history of arrests for violence and drunkenness, that fact justifies being fed into the overall analysis. This is a topical example selected to illustrate its significance, if any, to the unbiased completion of the report. Any number of factors can play a part but only if all the data is mined and evaluated properly before conclusions are committed to paper. Once the report has been produced in draft form, it should be scanned for appropriate use of data with a high significance rating to ensure that key material has not been missed or deliberately excluded. Only then should it be released into the public domain, where readers (who may like it or not) will be aware that all contributors and their actions have been evaluated for the purpose of achieving a truth instead of a drama.
