🧬 Its fingerprint
🏷️ 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.
📡 Wire: 28th percentile. Its stories and headline words are closer to the AP's and Reuters' than 28% of the 75 outlets we fingerprint.
🌶️ Heat: 34th percentile. Its headlines are worded more heatedly (loaded words, combat verbs, anger) than 34% of them.
👯 Behaves most like Semafor, Reason and The American Conservative.
