Neutral summary
Gunmen on motorcycles attacked Binnari village in Taraba State, Nigeria, on Friday after Friday prayers, firing indiscriminately, according to residents. Residents told AFP that at least 20 people were killed; resident Sa'idu Nuhu said more than 20 bodies were counted after the attackers left. Police said 10 bodies had been recovered as of Friday evening and that the attackers looted shops of cash, food and other goods. Amnesty International said at least 40 people were killed and criticised authorities for leaving rural communities at the mercy of gunmen. Taraba state authorities reportedly put the toll at 25, and governor Agbu Kefas condemned the killings and urged security agencies to act. Banditry has grown in northwest and central Nigeria. Separately, the military said an air strike in Borno State killed 15 'terrorists'.
Where accounts differ. Death tolls differ: police said 10 bodies were recovered (Daily Naya Diganta, Al Jazeera), residents said at least 20 (Naya Diganta, Al Jazeera, Banglanews24), Taraba authorities said 25 (Daily Manobkantha), and Amnesty International said 40 (Daily Manobkantha, Al Jazeera, The Straits Times).

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.
