What we know about Brooklyn building collapse that killed eight people

How to read these counts

Left, center, and right describe outlets, not individual claims. Headline counts and distinct-outlet counts describe this collection. Several updates from one publisher count as one outlet. Neither labels nor counts establish whether a claim is true. Coverage gaps still use headline counts: at least six headlines, one side at least five, another zero or one. Unavailable or incomplete feeds can affect the counts.

Outlet names keep a thin underline: L in blue for left, C in green for center, and R in red for right. Headlines stay in ink. An outlet with no rating is a gray line.
