Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

Former US president Barack Obama criticised successor Donald Trump at rallies on Saturday in Ohio and Michigan to support Democratic candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. In Cleveland, Obama said Trump's two years had brought "chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence" and urged voters to say "Enough is enough." He blamed the Trump administration for rising living costs amid soaring fuel prices, saying the president "chose to make a series of bad decisions" and "decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for." Obama urged early voting, which is open in both states. In Ohio, Sherrod Brown is challenging Republican Senator Jon Husted, and Democrat Amy Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy for governor; polls give Democrats slight leads. In Michigan, Obama campaigned for Abdul El-Sayed, who is in a close Senate race with Republican Mike Rogers. Polls suggest Democrats could regain the House but face a tougher Senate contest.

Where accounts differ. The Daily Star and The Daily Waadaa report Obama's Michigan appearance and his remarks on Trump's renovation projects, which only some outlets include, while the Straits Times places the Michigan rally in Detroit.

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. 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.
