How the coverage framed it
Coverage of this story was largely uniform across the two outlets that reported it, with a bias spread of just 0.1 points — effectively negligible. Both the New York Post and Breitbart relied on neutral, factual language: Breitbart used the straightforward construction "Accused of Having Sexual Relationships with Three Staffers," while the Post similarly avoided editorial judgment, noting that Boebert "has simple response to claim she had sex with 3 staffers." The primary difference is one of framing emphasis rather than ideological slant — Breitbart centered the accusation itself, while the Post centered Boebert's reaction to it. Neither outlet used loaded or evaluative language; both employed neutral verbs and attributed the allegation rather than asserting it as fact. Readers across these outlets would have encountered substantively similar factual framing with no meaningful left-right divide present in the headlines.
