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.

The two tables below describe every item in the last 30 days under employment. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter, because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.
