Article analysis
Band BLocalised faults
Amar SangbadNeutral
Neutrally relays an army-led meeting's press release, attributing its claims, but omits the blockaders' demands and gives the accused Karbari Association no response.
Three of the three outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.
The faults are local; the reporter's narration stays descriptive.

The Karbari Association is accused of holding people hostage and abetting protesters, but it is not quoted and no response is sought.

The blockaders' demands and reasons for the blockade are never stated.
4SpeculationParaphrased source voice· not scored
সাম্প্রদায়িক সংঘাতের ঝুঁকি তৈরি হতে পারে
The communal-conflict warning is attributed to the meeting, so it is the source's conjecture rather than the paper's.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
