Each bar is a show's reach-weighted pull on this issue this week - longer means a bigger push, the side shows which way. Bar color is the show's stance on this issue; the L/M/R badge is the show's usual politics. They can disagree - a left show can post a red bar (e.g. attacking pharma reads MAHA-coded right). Plus 36 more shows. How reach weighting works →
