How the coverage framed it

The two outlets covering this story sit roughly four bias-score points apart, producing notably different framings of the same underlying subject. The New York Times, the most centrist outlet here, avoids naming any individual donor, instead describing "An Army of Paid Creators" that is "Carpeting the Web With Political Content" — language that carries mild charge through its volume-and-saturation imagery but does not assign partisan blame or identify a specific actor. Fox News, at the rightmost end of the spread, leads with "The Soros political machine," a phrase scorers flagged as right-coded framing that invokes a broader conspiratorial narrative around the billionaire donor. Where the Times gestures at an impersonal digital phenomenon, Fox News adds a named antagonist, a mechanical metaphor suggesting coordinated power, and the phrase "zeroing in on key races," which introduces a threatening, predatory dimension absent from the Times's headline entirely.
