This isn't the data, it looks like data about the stories ICIJ have decided to publish, which, having led with a bunch of anti-Putin stories in our media despite Putin having no direct involvement, totally relegates to zero their reputation for doing a balanced job of handling the data.

Just give us the unredacted data otherwise we'll presume it is only being used as an instrument of propaganda, because you've already used it that way

Save the predictable accusations, I'm a British citizen depressed the BBC News site will be unreadable for another 6 months thanks to Brexit and this kind of crap

I have no intention nor interest to achieve propaganda, this is just a snapshot of the data released in the ICIJ website,and was made for a data analysis course I am working on. If you want the full data, my guess is you have to wait for ICIJ to do so.

I think your title could be a little more descriptive

Didn't mean to accuse you of anything :) I just think the real focus should be on how the data is being used so far, and why we can't all see it. The rest is presumably carefully shaped noise that is almost certainly best ignored

Is this what astroturfing looks like in 2016? Bit obvious isn't it?

On HN, you can't accuse other users of astroturfing without evidence. Opposing opinions aren't evidence. Please don't.
