About these quotes

Each quote is verbatim in our own transcript of the show’s published audio, at most 35 words, and the clip is cut from that audio. We drew them from the report’s random sample, one per show, spread across the lean scale and the stances.

The stance is what the person speaking did with the claim: asserted it, reported it, rebutted it or asked about it. It is not a verdict on the claim. Polygraph has not checked these claims yet, so no rating is shown; checks will be listed on the Claims tab as they finish.
