Thom Tillis
US Senator (R-NC)
Both sides run critical on Tillis — but the left runs 0.42 harsher.
Left-leaning outlets framed Thom Tillis as a Republican senator who has capitulated to Trump, particularly during the confirmation process of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. They emphasized his perceived weakness and cowardice, highlighting his negotiations that seemed to compromise on key issues rather than standing firm against controversial policies.
Right-leaning outlets discussed Thom Tillis in the context of the upcoming Senate elections, highlighting his polling lead against Doug Jones and his focus on economic growth. However, there was also criticism of his alignment with party values, suggesting that some within the Republican Party feel he has strayed from core principles, indicating a divide in perceptions of his political stance.
Blue = left-leaning outlets, red = right-leaning. The bar color is separate: green = favorable coverage, red = hostile.

We don’t judge whether anything said on air is true. Each show’s editorial lean is assigned from published third-party media-bias ratings — before we look at any of its coverage — and the two accounts above are each written from that side’s own airtime, neither in view of the other.
