THE AUDIT DESKThe Stochastic Parrot

The beat · 2078 outlets audited · page 2 of 52

Every outlet the desk has read, and the pieces where it appears. Counts are distinct audits — the desk reports who it keeps reading, not who is “worst.”

The spread, by AllSides lean
Left 2 · Lean Left 11 · Center 5 · Lean Right 1 · Right 2 · +2057 local / wire / foreign, unrated

Lean ratings are from AllSides, an independent rater — not the desk. The desk holds every masthead to the same two-span standard. Mainstream and wire outlets appear most because they are the factual baseline partisan framings are checked against — this is the reading list, not a verdict on who is “worse.”
