🧬 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: 66th percentile. Its stories and headline words are closer to the AP's and Reuters' than 66% of the 75 outlets we fingerprint.
🌶️ Heat: 46th percentile. Its headlines are worded more heatedly (loaded words, combat verbs, anger) than 46% of them.
👯 Behaves most like Axios, New York Times and Star Tribune.
