Oct 27 · A federal grand jury declines to indict former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her Jan. 6 testimony
New York Post: Grand jury doesn't indict ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, says AP
Grade F (58/100). The Post runs the AP report on the failed indictment, Republican lawmakers' perjury accusations, other grand jury refusals in Washington and Hutchinson's 2022 testimony
F: Uses an unnamed source or unsourced number.
- Relies on an unnamed source or a number with no source (minus 18 points): the outcome rests on 'two people familiar with the matter' who spoke 'on the condition of anonymity' (¶1-2)
- Adds the reporter's own opinion or claims as fact (minus 24 points): 'part of a surge in politically sensitive actions by the Justice Department ... targeting perceived adversaries of the president' (the outlet's own characterization of motive, ¶4)
