How this score is measured
Every day, Spin Detector fetches ABC News's latest headlines alongside those of 55 other major outlets, groups them by story, and uses AI to score each headline's political language from −5 to +5. Two independent models — Claude (Anthropic) and Grok (xAI) — score the same headlines without seeing each other's results, so you can see where they agree and where they diverge.
A score near 0 means neutral, centrist language. Negative scores indicate progressive framing; positive scores indicate conservative framing. The score reflects language and framing in headlines — not an editorial or factual rating of the outlet.
