What it does

Brous News aggregates headlines from 15 outlets across the political spectrum — from Breitbart (R) to The Guardian (LC) — and uses rule-based pattern matching to flag narrative techniques commonly used to bias coverage.

Narrative flags

Divergence score

Measures how differently outlets frame the same story. Calculated from the spread of political leans covering it plus variance in flag counts. High divergence (≥3) means left and right outlets are telling meaningfully different versions of the same event.

Outlet scorecards

Tracks each outlet's flag rate for today's articles. A consistently high flag rate doesn't mean the outlet is wrong — it means their language choices match patterns associated with narrative bias. Use it as one signal among many.

Limitations

All analysis is pattern-matching only — no AI, no editorial judgment. Flags can produce false positives (e.g. "experts say" in a legitimate science story). The goal is to make you notice the language, not to tell you what to believe.
