Oct 19 · France imposes curfews after its worst rioting in years
Fox News: Trump says amid Paris riots: ‘Migrants have taken over France,’ ‘close the borders fast’ (live updates)
Grade D (64/100). News and opinion mixed
Lehrer score 64/100 (−24 own-voice claim/analysis: opinion mixed into the news feed unlabeled: “an absolute orgy of destruction” (Hume), “an absolute disaster” (Gardiner); −12 loaded wording: loaded framing in its own voice: “ultra-left radical groups” used in the summary). Fixed scale: 90+ A, 80s B, 70s C, 60s D, under 60 F → D.
Quotes guests' opinions in the feed: “an absolute orgy of destruction” (Hume), “an absolute disaster” (Gardiner on Macron). Leads with Trump's immigration framing; French officials' explanation (“ultra-left radical groups”) gets one line.
Agrees: Same curfews, 2,400 arrests, 3,000 businesses.
Splits: Leads with Trump's immigration blame; NBC notes French officials don't share it.
