    We can measure the quality of a news source with the new Donald Trump Is A Rapist test. That’s the name of the test.

    It’s the name of the test because Donald Trump, who is a rapist, sometimes won’t be referred to as the rapist he is despite the fact that he, Donald Trump, is a rapist. A news source discussing the issue who is not sufficiently plain and unbothered about stating the fact that Donald Trump is a rapist would score very poorly on the Donald Trump Is A Rapist test.

    Remember to mention the test by its name, the Donald Trump Is A Rapist test. Otherwise people might be unsure what you mean. For handy convenience, you can capitalize the name of the test when writing it: Donald Trump Is A Rapist. This is to distinguish the name of the test, Donald Trump Is A Rapist, from the passing mention of a fact, say, for instance, that Donald Trump is a rapist.
