Frequently stakes out contrarian positions
Divergence tracks National Review as right, based on coverage monitored since April 2026. Across 61 scored events (192 articles), its coverage diverges from the cross-spectrum consensus at an average of 37 out of 100, above the site-wide average of 26.
Its most common framing is critical (51% of events, followed by pro-action at 21%). In 62% of the events it covers, National Review takes a framing no other outlet in the cluster shares, one of the higher contrarian rates we track. Coverage concentrates on politics and economy.
Measured across shared events, National Review frames stories most like The Federalist (62%), Reason (60%) and Breitbart (58%), and least like Semafor (0% agreement).
These numbers are computed, not opinions. They update every 30 minutes as new coverage arrives. How the score, framing labels, and spectrum placement work is documented in the methodology.
