How 12 sources across the political spectrum cover Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Republican)
While center-leaning outlets like AP News and TIME focus on the technical defense of a 12% HHS budget cut and vaccine policy shifts, left-leaning sources such as Common Dreams and Raw Story highlight "ridicule" over Kennedy's drug-pricing math and "fiery" exchanges with Senate Democrats. The coverage across the spectrum notes his "combative" tone while also highlighting his support for a junk food advertising ban.
3 of 18 articles reproduce work from 3 original publishers (The Washington Post, TIME, +1 more). 4 more articles name another publisher as the source (Associated Press, CNN, +1 more), but the copy is not verified, so they are scored as the host's own work. The "Sources" count in the sidebar reflects unique editorial voices, not the hosts that reposted them.
