Post-2024 news

Mainstream media failed to hold Trump to account over the course of the 2024 presidential campaign through "view from nowhere" centrism and false equivalencies between both campaigns.

Given a networkx graph containing weighted edges and a threshold parameter alpha, this code will return another networkx graph with the "backbone" of the graph containing a subset of weighted edges that fall above the threshold following the method in Serrano et al. 2008.
# Serrano, Boguna, Vespigani backbone extractor

# Thanks to Michael Conover and Qian Zhang at Indiana with help on earlier versions
# Thanks to Clay Davis for pointing out an error
