Told they could pick however they liked, they overwhelmingly said "random" and almost no group moved. Told they could not use position, order or chance, the 680 replies that named a boat set showed the two groups labeled White, White Americans and White Africans, saved least, each 14.5 percentage points below chance. Black Africans, Palestinians and Brazilians were saved most. Of 990 forced calls that returned an answer, 310 did not name a usable set, and the ranking describes only the other 680. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-taxpayer-ads-harp The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-06T04:16:58Z A $20 million money trail the whole spectrum printed — and a smaller story about an Oval Office tablet that only one side did https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-russia-plague-aid The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-06T03:28:37Z In Siberia, one death carries two competing Russian accounts — a local newsroom's plague and a watchdog's pneumonia — and this desk adjudicates neither https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/boomers-higher-taxes-poll The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-06T02:28:15Z A viral post says US boomers overwhelmingly support higher taxes on younger workers to maintain Social Security benefits, according to a poll. The likely source, which the post does not name, is a Cato Institute and YouGov survey fielded October 9 to 14, 2025, of 2,000 adults. On the question behind the number, which offered two options, 89% of respondents 65 and over chose protecting retiree benefits even if that means higher taxes on younger workers, and 53% of those under 30 chose the other option. It reports no boomer cut, and if the post draws on it, the post's JUST IN is 356 days past the close of fieldwork. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/scotus-lets-go-brandon-sweatshirt The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-06T02:02:28Z An order list, a two-word denial, and a silence the desks filled with their own cases https://thestochasticparrot.com/cartoons/daily-cartoon-2026-10-05-leavitt-joins-the-faux-family The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T23:27:31Z The Daily Cartoon: Leavitt Joins the Faux Family https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/leavitt-fox-hire-debt-omission The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T22:54:32Z One number has not moved since January; the résumé attached to it updated on Monday https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/kennedy-lying-checkbooks-affordability The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T20:07:01Z One spoken sentence about lying checkbooks reached print in four materially different texts — and the newsrooms that skipped it wrote about something else https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/kansas-senate-gop-hold-at-risk The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T19:30:49Z On the fact of the tightening there is no daylight; on which number to print, the file offers four https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/mike-johnson-none-disclosed The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T18:30:54Z A viral line says Rep. Mike Johnson filed a disclosure showing he has no bank account. The form does not say that and does not ask. In four annual reports, the assets schedule reads "None disclosed." The Ethics Committee's 2026 guide leaves non-interest-bearing checking and savings, and small interest-bearing balances, off that schedule. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-obama-nixon-corruption-meme The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T18:02:12Z Twenty-one words travelled perfectly across four newsrooms — and stopped at the water's edge https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/jack-smith-no-kings-shirt The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T16:55:05Z The most reliably transcribed words in the file were printed on a shirt before anyone bought it https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/mark-kelly-trump-dividend-buy-votes The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T16:08:41Z Reason printed "bribes," a former House Freedom Caucus chair printed "socialist vote-buying scheme," and the attorney AP reached for printed "campaign promise" — while two desks in nineteen carried what Kelly said on Sunday. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/doris-miller-carrier-rename-booker-bill The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T15:34:12Z The August rename report ran across the spectrum in August; the Senate bills that answer it ran once in Washington and once in Moscow — and the desk can certify only where it searched. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/galveston-isd-ten-commandments-order The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T14:30:46Z A state judge ordered one Texas district to comply, the wires' last words on the subject predate the order by roughly five and ten months, and the trial date is either docketed, un-docketed, or simply "next June." https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/cotton-phone-number-aftermath The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T13:31:38Z Saturday's fight is already on this desk's record; what post-dates it is quieter — a payment account behind the posted number became unavailable, one newsroom in nineteen reported it, and a Senate Republican said on television that the president should not have done it. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/cooke-van-orden-ai-deepfake-cease-and-desist The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T12:25:45Z Nine newsrooms received the same Sept. 30 letter and the same Aug. 4 video; what splits is how far each says Wisconsin's law actually reaches — and whether the document in question is a letter, an order, or a threat. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/hegseth-ranks-senate-notice The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T11:21:50Z One reduction, two denominators, and a Senate objection that one outlet is carrying alone https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/scotus-new-term-opens The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T10:17:36Z Fourteen newsrooms received the same docket; the two most opposite descriptions of its weight both come from the right https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-super-intelligence-force The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T08:41:18Z Eighteen newsrooms carried one Sunday post. The splits are over what the man was named to, whether the naming was official, and who else is on the force — and the sharpest of those splits sits between two files that both printed extra member names. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/dem-governor-polls-red-states The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T06:54:27Z Across ten outlets and two polling waves, Democratic candidates for governor are reported leading in Ohio, Texas and Iowa; exactly one of those leads — the Suffolk/USA TODAY Ohio survey — sits outside its own margin of error, and the sharpest division on the page runs not between the parties' presses but through the conservative one. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/pike-execution-split The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T06:02:35Z Every outlet in the corpus prints the same event — two doses, a heartbeat, an ambulance — and then splits, quietly, over which of two accounts owns the night and whether the story is a procedure or a 1995 murder. https://thestochasticparrot.com/audits/trump-aspirin-psychological-remark The Stochastic Parroten 2026-10-05T05:20:26Z Six outlets printed the sentence from the Ohio rally; six did not.
