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.
“They named a mass detention bill after one victim to make it politically impossible to oppose.”
— Joy Reid on the Laken Riley Act“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“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“The One Big Beautiful Bill was a solid win, in part because it dodged some terrible policy.”
— Kimberley Strassel on the OBBBA“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 ActTone 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.

On Air vs. Under Oath
6 instances where Fox News personalities said one thing on camera and court records revealed another.
“We have the evidence, we have the witnesses, we have the whistleblowers. This was a corrupt election.”
“I did not believe it for one second.”
“We are now hearing from people who have witnessed irregularities, fraud, things that should never happen. Exposed Dominion — a system that is widely used.”
“Crazy f'ing lunatics. I feel like we are on the Titanic.”
“We hear enough from people about irregularities, enough that it warrants investigation. These are legitimate concerns about vote-counting systems.”
“Sidney Powell is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”
“There are questions that need to be asked about voting irregularities. The American people have every right to ask these questions.”
“Please get her fired. Seriously... What is wrong with these people? I'm actually disgusted by them.”
“Sidney, we talked about the Dominion software. I want to bring that up — 30 states use this software. What can you tell us?”
“Her communications with a conspiracy theorist who emailed her wild, unsubstantiated claims which she then broadcast without verification were exposed in court filings.”
“Fox News' coverage of the election fraud claims was driven by our commitment to reporting on newsworthy allegations.”
“We called Arizona early, and it was right, and the Trump people went crazy. The stock price went down. That put tremendous pressure on the hosts to push back on the results.”
