Read the room on a topic
Gather what people actually wrote, then judge the tone yourself.
Sentiment drawn from headlines is sentiment about headlines. Reading the pages gives a model the argument being made, which is the thing you wanted to measure.
- Full body text gives a classifier the reasoning, not just the framing.
- Consensus is a visible signal, which separates a widely held view from one loud page.
- Recency weighting distinguishes current opinion from an old article that ranks well.
Consensus across independent sources tells you how widely a view is held, not just how loudly.
