Using an OWL-ViT object detector, I analyzed 150k+ Instagram posts from 14 news outlets to estimate how many men vs. women appear in photos (not videos).
Overall, these images feature approximately 3 men for every 1 woman, with some outlets having an even higher ratio.
Bars are ordered by external bias score (Left → Right), using ratings from Ad Fontes Media.

Well yeah, that’s because major figures such as POTUS and billionaires are historically men. And they make the news cycle constantly
Why do I immediately pretend those are fingers flipping me off center and right?
This isn’t beautiful or interesting.
