## About

NBC News arrives with the polish of a network that has been practicing composure since 1940. Its Nightly News still frames the day in broadcast cadence, seven stories inside twenty-two minutes, built for an audience that wants the evening verdict rather than the afternoon scrum. The paradox: a brand engineered for the mass middle that its sharpest critics now place firmly on one political side.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
