Detailed information (see previous blog post for explanation of this).  


Hillary Clinton (UCLRYsOHrkk5qcIhtq033bLQ)
Trailer: 1/3 (test failed, evidence of heavy moderation. There are actually only 2 comments, and one is surprisingly negative. I  feel reluctant to award a point for this because I suspect this is ironically done to try and diminish the credibility of genuine critics; 1/3 is very generous)
