Speaker Johnson: I 'probably could have ejected' more 'shameful' Dems from State of the Union

The New York Post is an established national outlet with an identifiable author, but its tabloid style and limited presentation of opposing perspectives warrant a moderate assessment. The article attributes Johnson’s claims and quotes to him, while offering little independent sourcing or response from the Democrats discussed.

• ▸Source diversity — The quotations mainly come from Johnson and Trump.
• ▸Loaded language — The article uses charged descriptions, some attributed to Johnson and some in the narration.
