How we rate

Political profiles use framing across the spectrum. Topic outlets use confirmation status, industry versus skeptic perspectives, or coverage of health evidence. Coverage figures are saved from the last 30 days and sorted within each outlet type. Detailed lens percentages require at least 10 analyzed articles; other figures require at least 5 analyzed stories. Our methodology
