Discourse monitor
How the monitored publications were assessed
Discourse valence across every scored item: what the sampled sources published and how independent models read it. It is not a measure of public opinion, not a measure of the state of the world, and article volume is not agreement.
Mean discourse valence per day · last 30 days
This line is the mean of every item scored on each day. It deliberately ignores the reading filter, because a daily mean of only the strongly adverse items would move with how many were filtered out rather than with the discourse.

Across the whole window
The two tables below describe every item in the last 30 days. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter (currently strongly adverse), because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.

A source's mean says how the items it published were read. It is not a rating of the source.
