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 human-agency. 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.
