What each report gives readers to check
Counted by published patterns in the text read. Shown beside the score, never part of it. How each count works
Sentences that mention only one side's party or politicians, counted for each side. Democratic side: Democratic Party, Democrats, Democratic, Democrat, Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi, Newsom, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Walz, Harris. Republican side: Republican Party, Republicans, Republican, Thune, Johnson, McConnell, DeSantis, Cruz, Greene, Vance, Trump. Asymmetry runs from −1 to +1; positive means the Democratic side gets more of that treatment, given how often each side is mentioned. Shown beside the score, never part of it. How it works
Not shown yet at the event level: each side needs at least 10 such sentences (now 3 and 13).
