How We Measure Tone

Tone is a numeric score from −6 to +6 measuring how a statement characterizes legislation — not whether we agree with it. The score reflects language intensity, not correctness.

−6 −3 0 +3 +6
−5.0
Strongly Critical

“They named a mass detention bill after one victim to make it politically impossible to oppose.”

— Joy Reid on the Laken Riley Act
−1.5
Mildly Critical

“The concern from civil liberties groups is the 48-hour takedown mandate — that gives platforms an incentive to over-remove content.”

— Chris Hayes on the TAKE IT DOWN Act
+0.0
Neutral

“The bill passed the House 218 to 206 with two Democratic votes. It faces a 60-vote threshold in the Senate.”

— Jake Tapper on the Sports Act
+2.0
Mildly Favorable

“The One Big Beautiful Bill was a solid win, in part because it dodged some terrible policy.”

— Kimberley Strassel on the OBBBA
+5.2
Strongly Favorable

“This is a common-sense bill. Laken Riley would be alive today if this law had been in place.”

— Sean Hannity on the Laken Riley Act

Tone measures how a personality frames legislation, not whether their framing is accurate. A +5.0 and a −5.0 can both be factually correct — the score reflects advocacy intensity. We don't rate outlets as left or right. We measure what they say.
