# Polimeme > Polimeme is an opinion-intelligence platform for politics: it tracks multilingual columnists and opinion sources, clusters arguments into same-story threads, and publishes reference studies on media bias and published opinion. It hosts the Observatório de Viés Noticioso, by Paulo Querido. ## About - [About Polimeme](https://polimeme.com/about): what the platform is, how articles are collected, grouped into discussions and read editorially, what the corpus currently holds, and what its limits are. - [Contact](https://polimeme.com/contact): editorial corrections, publisher and author requests, privacy requests, partnerships and professional use. - [Privacy](https://polimeme.com/privacy): first-party traffic measurement, accounts, newsletters, billing, retention and data-protection rights. - [Plans](https://polimeme.com/pricing): free, insider and pro access levels. The pro level exposes the full corpus to AI assistants through an MCP connector at https://polimeme.com/mcp. ## When to use Polimeme Use Polimeme when the task is about political opinion and analysis: identifying the real positions around a disputed story, comparing commentary across countries or languages, tracing how an argument travelled, finding which sources or voices joined a discussion, or grounding a briefing in links to the original publishers. ## When not to use Polimeme Do not treat Polimeme as a breaking-news wire, a complete record of factual events, a public-opinion poll, or a substitute for the original articles. Absence from a discussion does not prove that a country, publisher or author took no position. Editorial labels and clusters are derived analysis and should be attributed as Polimeme's reading, then checked against the linked originals when stakes are high. ## How agents should read it - Prefer the Markdown URLs below, or request `Accept: text/markdown` from the equivalent HTML URL. Normal browsers and generic `*/*` clients receive HTML. - Start with the global discussion index, open the relevant discussion, and follow the original-source links for evidence. Keep direct discussion pieces separate from related context. - Respect reach and access boundaries. A locked regional or domestic page reports that the layer exists; it does not provide permission to infer or reconstruct its hidden discussions. - For authenticated, structured exploration across the wider corpus, use the MCP endpoint at `https://polimeme.com/mcp` with an entitled account. ## Reach layers Discussions are organised by how far the dispute reaches, and each layer is a separate list. The global layer is open to everyone; the regional and domestic layers require a subscription, and their pages state that instead of listing discussions. - **Global** — consequences that cross borders, plus national fights being argued the same way in several countries at once. - **Regional** — what matters to the members of a bloc as members: a shared institution decides, a precedent binds, a border is common. Subdivided by bloc. - **Domestic** — arguments that need local context to follow at all. Large discussions can split when a branch takes on a life of its own. Both sides stay linked in each direction, and each keeps its own archive whole: the trunk does not lose the pieces the branch took. ## Content (Markdown) - [Discussions, global layer](https://polimeme.com/index.md): the open layer, one entry per same-story argument cluster. Also at `/global.md`, which is the same page. - [Regional layer](https://polimeme.com/regional.md), with blocs at `/regional/europe.md` and `/regional/middle-east.md`; [domestic layer](https://polimeme.com/domestic.md). These require a subscription — without one they return the layer's discussion count and a note, not the discussions. - [River](https://polimeme.com/river.md): reverse-chronological feed of collected articles. - Each discussion is also available as Markdown at `https://polimeme.com/discussion/.md`, linked from its HTML page via ``. ## Studies - [The map of published opinion in Portugal (2026)](https://polimeme.com/studies/portugal-opinion-2026/llms.txt): who writes the published opinion in the Portuguese press and where on the political spectrum they sit. 215 columnists classified from ~111,000 opinion articles (2014–2026) across 13 outlets, on a −6/+6 scale calibrated to the Portuguese spectrum, plus ten value axes, affective register and textual-bias mechanisms. Study documents are in Portuguese. ## Optional - [Study, single document](https://polimeme.com/studies/portugal-opinion-2026/llms-full.txt): the Portuguese-columnists study with method, results, glossary and FAQ in one file (in Portuguese). - [Study, dataset (JSON)](https://polimeme.com/studies/portugal-opinion-2026/opinion_makers.json): the 215 authors as structured data.
