How Trust Scores Work
Integrity (50% weight)
Average evidence-integrity score across all articles from this source. Measured at ingestion time by the AI bias analyst jury. Higher = more claims backed by verifiable evidence.
Framing Pressure (30% weight)
How much loaded language, euphemisms, and narrative framing the source uses. Lower framing = more factual reporting. 100 - biasScore contributes to trust.
Correction Rate (20% weight)
Percentage of articles from this source that have been corrected. More corrections = lower trust. Sources that silently edit without logging corrections are flagged.
Disclaimer: Trust scores are algorithmically computed from AI-assisted analysis of source material. They are signals, not verdicts. Always read the evidence and decide for yourself. A source with a low score may still publish accurate reporting — and a source with a high score may still spin.
