“I do not believe that the United States has begun this war for the well-being of the people of Iran. Iranian history is filled with foreign powers meddling in its affairs for their own gain.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
