The Justice Department filed a two-count criminal information charging former FBI Director James Comey with communicating national defense information and conspiracy, related to a 2016 disclosure to The New York Times. It is the third case brought against Comey, a frequent Trump critic, and was filed without a grand jury indictment. Comey called the charges an "appalling abuse" of the DOJ.

All 12 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
