Has any compared national/international media outlets?

Is there an automated LLM comparing word usage, phrasing, maybe even cultural/class-driven subtext in context of time/events in print/TV or a project comparing national/international news outlets that target specific population segments/demographics?

One could analyse the same in advertisement/social media/even 'Hollywood' and data science all of that stuff together. Create a chain or rather 'graph of thought'. See what the ministry of truth has been up to in recent decades ... I'm joking, of course, it's a complex world and people cooperate so what the hell, but it would be interesting nevertheless.

Sadly, I can't even scrape websites that have a robots.txt.

I remember reading a book about above topic a decade ago where multiple authors did something like that to analyse cooptation in media (German: "Gleichschaltung").
