Grade F (59/100). Timcast IRL on the failed Pete Hegseth impeachment
Lehrer score 59/100 (starts at 85; +2 context: background or what came before: what an impeachment would lead to: "First, it would result in an investigation ... Then it would go to trial in the Senate, and they would have witness testimony and lawyers" (0:14-0:24); −6 unlabeled claim, analysis or opinion in the outlet's own voice (rule 2/10): [0:09] "The Democrats do not want to impeach [Hegseth]" stated as fact with no support; −6 unlabeled claim, analysis or opinion in the outlet's own voice (rule 2/10): [0:29] "Democrat leadership wants this war all the same" stated as fact with no source; −4 loaded word or phrase in the outlet's own voice (rule 2/7/13): [0:34] "It's the war party. It's the uni-party."; −6 unlabeled claim, analysis or opinion in the outlet's own voice (rule 2/10): [0:51] "You get an illegal war." a disputed legal conclusion stated as fact; −6 leaves out a fact or voice the other two pieces report / one side only (rule 5/13): airs one side only: no vote count, no word from the absent Democrats or from Republicans). Fixed scale: 90+ A, 80s B, 70s C, 60s D, under 60 F → F.
