The news desk
What the country's newsrooms are covering right now.
Every story below was collected by our own wire and is ranked by how many independent newsrooms are carrying it. Headlines link to their publishers; appearing here is not an endorsement. The Baseline does no original reporting on this desk: it collects, de-duplicates and ranks what other newsrooms publish, and sends the checkable claims inside those stories to the fact-check desk.

Ranked by how many newsrooms are on it
A story carried by many independent newsrooms is corroborated, not necessarily true. When a claim inside one is checkable, it goes to the desk and the verdict appears in the record.

No single publisher or aggregator should define the day. The Baseline collects from every lane it can reach, groups articles into story lines, and ranks those lines by the number of independent newsrooms carrying them. Republished copies are dropped, one owner's stations count once, each publisher gets at most two slots on the wire, and every headline links back to the newsroom that wrote it.
