🏷️ Outside the partisan webs
Everyone outside the two partisan webs, from the wires to cable news: a big, mixed group that runs more of the stories everyone runs. Not a mark of quality or lean; its look-alikes say more.

🌢️ Heat: 4th percentile. Its headlines are worded more heatedly (loaded words, combat verbs, anger) than 4% of them.
