39 stories, 70 outlets. Each story shows how left-, centre- and right-rated outlets covered it, what each side sees, and who may gain or lose. We don't take sides; we show you the bias of each source.
L Left / centre-left C Centre R Right / centre-right · how we rate bias
Our outlet list is not evenly split: about 50% left-rated, 15% centre and 35% right-rated, so raw splits lean left by construction. Blindspots are tested against each side's own share. About our sample.
