Does the report give room to one side only?

Split: ABC News and NBC News read as straight; Hindustan Times and New York Post as mostly one-sided.

StraightOne-sided

2 outlets not placed: the reading was split between distant levels.

All 6 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
