How Ars Technica covered the news this month

Not enough data yet: 1 story analyzed so far. Updated every 30 minutes.

Methodology: last 30 days, opinion pieces excluded. Only articles actually included in saved analysis with an explicit lens assessment count in the percentages. Confirmation describes the core story after comparing coverage, not an outlet's overall accuracy; older saved story statuses are used only when that outlet was included. Industry/skeptic and evidence assessments are article-specific; no ratings are inferred from outlet reputation. Unclear or missing assessments are excluded. These are automated estimates, not verdicts. How CadNews works
