Extra - From Instapundit.Two different New York Times takes on $100,000 worth of bots. In one, the number is used to add shock value to a headline. In the other, the number is used to downplay a story’s significance. pic.twitter.com/HpeyrmgzLk— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 25, 2018

Further, one was $100k for a national election, and one was $100k for an election just in Alabama (Alabama has about 1/65 of the total US population). So from a neutral perspective, if you were going to play up one and not the other, $100k on a state election seems much more significant than $100k on a national election.
