Where the score comes from

Each technique the reading found, as a share of its articles. Tap one to read the passages.

• Leaves out what changes the pictureThe article leaves out a fact about the event it reports, which the outlet had or other outlets reported about the same event, and without it a reader believes something false about that event. Background the article is not about (overall tolls, the wider crisis) is not this technique.50%4 of 8
• Uses a loaded wordA word in the outlet's own voice that carries a verdict the facts in the article do not.50%4 of 8
• Gives a contested claim the last wordA party's claim ends a passage or the article with nothing against it, when the article itself, the coverage or the record shows it is contested.38%3 of 8
• Headline goes beyond the articleThe headline states what the body does not support, drops the attribution the body gives, or puts in quotation marks words nobody in the article said.38%3 of 8
• Hedges the documented recordThe genocide in Gaza, the ICJ's findings, the ICC's warrants or the illegality of the occupation and the settlements are written as allegation, as disputed, or not at all where the article turns on them. In an opinion piece, a direct denial of the record is a false_claim citing the record, not this technique.38%3 of 8
• Labels people on one side's wordIn its own voice the outlet calls people who were killed, detained or attacked terrorists, militants, gunmen or rioters, and its only basis is a party's claim.38%3 of 8
• States one side's claim as factA party's contested claim is written in the outlet's own voice with no attribution, so the reader takes it as established.25%2 of 8
• Tells the event as something elseThe article tells the event as a different kind of story: a blockade by masked men as travel disruption, a killing as a security incident, a protest against racism as a clash between two sides.25%2 of 8
• Doubts one side's dead and not the other'sPalestinian, Lebanese or Iranian casualty figures are qualified (according to the Hamas-run health ministry, cannot be verified) while Israeli figures are stated as fact.13%1 of 8
• Makes a false claimA claim of fact that the article's own evidence, a stored source or the documented record contradicts.13%1 of 8
• Uses figures that misleadA number presented so it misleads: the wrong base, a cherry-picked period, a share passed off as a total, or a figure the article's own source contradicts.13%1 of 8
• Writes Palestinians out of their own storyIsraeli suffering is told with names, ages and detail while Palestinians appear only as numbers, or not at all, and nothing about the scale of Israel's killing in Gaza is said.13%1 of 8

Its most framed articles

From the last 90 days. Open one to read it with every flagged sentence marked.

1. 9.1IDF kills three Hamas terrorists in Gaza airstrikes, including Oct. 7 kidnapperThe New York Post calls three men killed by Israeli occupation forces terrorists in its own voice, in the headline and in the body, when its only source is the army's own statement.
2. 8.7IDF kills Hamas terrorists — including leader involved in holding Israeli hostagesThe New York Post calls the two men killed in Israeli strikes terrorists in its own voice, in the headline and in the body, when its only source is the Israeli military.
3. 8.2Mamdani's tone-deaf Oct. 7 post attacks Israel for 'ongoing genocide,' sparks outrageThe New York Post treats Mamdani's description of an ongoing genocide in Gaza as an attack on Israel and never tells its reader that a UN Commission of Inquiry has found Israel committed genocide.
4. 8.2Hamas terrorist who barbarically paraded Shani Louk's half-naked body killed by IDFThe New York Post states in its own voice, from the headline down, that the man Israeli occupation forces killed in Jabalia was one of the men who abducted Shani Louk, when its only source is an IOF and Shin Bet statement that, as other coverage notes, gave no evidence.
