Reader notes. Some articles and features may be behind a subscription or paywall. · Like many popular science outlets, coverage may summarize preliminary findings rather than full peer-reviewed conclusions. · Headline framing can occasionally be more attention-grabbing than the underlying nuance of the research.
Where these ratings come from. Country, credibility and lean are curated v1 mappings composited from public ratings (AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check); outlets we haven't reviewed stay unrated. The profile text above is an AI-generated summary (gpt-5.4-nano) written under a strict no-guessing rule — facts the model isn't confident about are omitted rather than invented.
