What Bloom Scores Mean

Every article is classified into one of four Bloom categories based on its tone, framing, and constructiveness:

GOOD — Constructive BAD — Negative-leaning UGLY — Outrage-bait WEIRD — Unusual

GOOD stories highlight solutions, progress, or constructive framing. BAD stories focus on problems without resolution. UGLY stories use inflammatory language designed to provoke outrage. WEIRD stories are genuinely unusual or surprising.

How Scores Are Assigned

Bloom classification is performed by AI analysis, not by human editors making subjective judgments. The system examines article text for linguistic markers, framing patterns, and tonal indicators.

This is automated pattern recognition, not editorial opinion. Two reasonable people might classify the same article differently — the AI applies consistent rules across all sources equally.

What "Bias" Means Here

When we say a source "over-indexes" or "under-indexes" in a category, we mean it deviates from the statistical average across all 16 sources. This is a mathematical observation, not a political judgment.

A war correspondent will naturally score more BAD than a science reporter. That reflects their beat assignment, not editorial bias. Context matters — these numbers describe coverage patterns, not quality.
