How to read these numbers
Article count is not confirmation count. Wire rewrites and same-outlet follow-ups inflate totals. Prefer distinct publishers and primary links on each story page.

Perspective labels are external consensus ratings (AllSides / Ad Fontes / MBFC-style), not WeSearch truth scores. Center is not automatically more accurate.
