The Daily Wire: Putin Pitches Guest List For Peace Talks. Here’s Who’s On It.

Grade F (52/100). WSJ scoop recap; Kyiv's anger

Lehrer score 52/100 (−18 unnamed source/unsourced figure: “which cited people “familiar with the discussions.”” [named support in the piece: Peskov and Rubio on record]; −18 unnamed source/unsourced figure: “Analysts who study China suggest Xi wants to be seen as a global power broker”; −12 loaded wording: “Kyiv is furious.”). Fixed scale: 90+ A, 80s B, 70s C, 60s D, under 60 F → F.

Unnamed analysts; framing in its own voice

Agrees: Peskov confirms talks; Rubio says nothing is final

Splits: Adds Taiwan angle and the Yalta comparison

Broken. Lehrer: no anonymous sources except on rare occasions (core claim has named support, so the lesser deduction applies) (“which cited people “familiar with the discussions.””)
Broken. Lehrer: do nothing I cannot defend (attribute claims) (“Analysts who study China suggest Xi wants to be seen as a global power broker”)
Broken. Lehrer: no loaded words (“Kyiv is furious.”)
