In reality, the sexual assault in Loudoun County is a deeply tragic story of interpersonal violence that is being unfairly wielded as a cudgel against trans equality -- despite it having no relationship to or national implications regarding trans inclusion. We included segments, which we defined as instances when the assault was the stated topic of discussion or when we found significant discussion about the assault. We defined significant discussion as instances when two or more speakers in a multitopic segment discussed the assault with one another. We defined “news” programs as those with anchors, such as Bret Baier or Shannon Bream, while we defined “opinion” programs as those with hosts, such as Tucker Carlson or Laura Ingraham, at the helm. We also considered the format of the program; we defined those using a panel format, such as Outnumbered and The Five, as opinion programs.
