How each party is described

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

Asymmetry = (pD − pR) ÷ (pD + pR), where p = (count + 1) ÷ (sentences + 2) for each side. Shown when the two sides together have 3 or more cases. From 438 reports.
