They noted Giles’s history as a Republican and his recent switch to independent status, as well as his criticism of Donald Trump and endorsement of Kamala Harris. The Associated Press’s full report, reprinted by several outlets, included Giles’s statement that he had tried to save the Republican Party but eventually gave up the effort.","The left-rated reports also highlighted Giles’s record as Mesa’s mayor, including his support for LGBTQ+ rights and his role in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Associated Press quoted a statement from the Biggs campaign, which accused Giles of being aligned with Hobbs on policies that had \"hurt Arizonans\" and described him as an \"aspiring Democrat\" since voting for Joe Biden in 2020."],"centre":["Centre-rated outlets led on Governor Katie Hobbs selecting former Mesa mayor John Giles as her running mate for the 2026 election. All 12 reports noted Giles had been a Republican before switching to independent. Ten digests and two full reports stated the choice aimed to appeal to Republicans and conservative independents in Arizona.","Washington Top News and Fox 10 Phoenix carried Giles’ past endorsements of Democratic candidates, including Kamala Harris and Mark Kelly. Both outlets reported his criticism of Donald Trump and his support for LGBTQ+ protections in Mesa. The Biggs campaign’s response, calling Giles a Democratic ally, appeared in both full reports.","Washington Top News included Giles’ statement that he remained a conservative and had stayed in the Republican Party longer than he felt he should. Fox 10 Phoenix quoted Hobbs’ and Giles’ joint emphasis on bipartisanship. Neither full report mentioned the lieutenant governor role being newly introduced in Arizona."],"right":["The right-rated digests agree that Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, selected former Mesa Mayor John Giles as her running mate for the 2026 election. All note Giles was previously a Republican and later became an independent. Most specify his term as mayor ran from 2014 to 2025.","The Daily Wire and thehornnews.com led on Giles’ past Republican affiliation, describing him as a \"former 'Republican'\" and a \"RINO Republican\" respectively. The Daily Wire added that Giles had backed Kamala Harris for president and been censured by a local conservative group. Just the News quoted Hobbs stating she wanted a running mate who prioritised residents over partisan politics.","None of the right-rated digests mention Giles’ policy positions, his reasons for leaving the Republican Party, or his response to the selection. The Batesville Daily Guard and plaindealerin.com framed the choice as an attempt to appeal to Republicans and conservative independents in Arizona."],"comparison":""},"blindspot":{"status":"settled","underrepresentedSide":"right","note":"This finding is reported only after the coverage watch was closed."},"sourceFactualityDistribution":{"low":2,"mixed":8,"high":48,"unknown":12,"veryHigh":7},"ownershipDistribution":{"privateEquity":4,"mediaConglomerate":19,"billionaire":4,"independent":7,"other":3,"corporation":11},"firstDatedReport":{"sourceName":"New Hampshire Union Leader","url":"https://unionleader.com/opinion/columnists/veronique-de-rugy-socialism-in-the-open-and-on-the-right/article_6e577b30-88c8-4681-b301-9e915bdd077f.html","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T04:00:00.000Z"},"countries":[{"country":"New York, New York, United States","count":5},{"country":"Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, United States","count":4},{"country":"Washington, District of Columbia, United States","count":4},{"country":"Arlington, Arlington County, Virginia, United States","count":2},{"country":"Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, United States","count":1},{"country":"Gainesville, Hall County, Georgia, United States","count":1},{"country":"Madrid, Community of Madrid, Spain","count":1},{"country":"Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada","count":1},{"country":"Israel","count":1},{"country":"Hamilton, Ontario, Canada","count":1},{"country":"Woodland Park, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States","count":1},{"country":"Welland, Niagara Regional Municipality, Ontario, Canada","count":1},{"country":"Orlando, Orange County, Florida, United States","count":1},{"country":"Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, United States","count":1},{"country":"Bangor, Penobscot County, Maine, United States","count":1},{"country":"Seattle, King County, Washington, United States","count":1},{"country":"Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Canada","count":1},{"country":"Baltimore, Maryland, United States","count":1},{"country":"Chevy Chase, Montgomery County, Maryland, United States","count":1},{"country":"West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, United States","count":1},{"country":"Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, United States","count":1},{"country":"Pennsylvania, United States","count":1},{"country":"Richmond, Virginia, United States","count":1},{"country":"London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom","count":1},{"country":"Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina, United States","count":1},{"country":"Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States","count":1},{"country":"Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States","count":1}],"outlets":[{"name":"New Hampshire Union Leader","url":"https://unionleader.com/opinion/columnists/veronique-de-rugy-socialism-in-the-open-and-on-the-right/article_6e577b30-88c8-4681-b301-9e915bdd077f.html","headline":"Veronique de Rugy: Socialism in the open and on the right","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T04:00:00.000Z","leaningSide":"centre","leaningRating":"center","factualityRating":"high","angle":null,"isOpinion":true,"country":"Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, United States","repostedFrom":null},{"name":"Michigan Advance","url":"https://michiganadvance.com/2026/08/10/if-its-socialism-show-us","headline":"If it’s socialism, show us","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T10:30:46.000Z","leaningSide":"left","leaningRating":"leanLeft","factualityRating":"high","angle":null,"isOpinion":true,"country":null,"repostedFrom":null},{"name":"The Gainesville Times","url":"https://gainesvilletimes.com/opinion/letter-editor/opinion-dont-be-deceived-by-democratic-socialism","headline":"Don't be deceived by democratic socialism","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T11:46:49.000Z","leaningSide":null,"leaningRating":"unknown","factualityRating":"unknown","angle":null,"isOpinion":true,"country":"Gainesville, Hall County, Georgia, United States","repostedFrom":null},{"name":"ussanews.com","url":"https://ussanews.com/2026/08/10/ocasio-cortez-claims-democratic-socialists-are-fundamentally-pro-democracy-as-house-votes-to-condemn-socialism","headline":"Ocasio-Cortez claims Democratic Socialists are ‘fundamentally pro-democracy’ as House votes to condemn socialism","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T12:01:06.366Z","leaningSide":"right","leaningRating":"farRight","factualityRating":"low","angle":null,"isOpinion":false,"country":null,"repostedFrom":null},{"name":"Classic City News","url":"https://classiccitynews.com/post/democratic-socialism-has-not-communism","headline":"Democratic socialism is not communism","publishedAt":"2026-08-10T13:54:29.928Z","leaningSide":null,"leaningRating":"unknown","factualityRating":"unknown","angle":null,"isOpinion":false,"country":null,"repostedFrom":null},{"name":"ABC 15 Arizona","url":"https://abc15.com/news/politics/what-to-know-about-criminal-investigation-into-gov-katie-hobbs","headline":"What to know about criminal investigation into Gov.
