Neutral summary
Former US president Barack Obama campaigned for Democratic candidates in Ohio and Michigan on Saturday ahead of the 3 November midterm elections, criticising the Trump administration over the Iran war, high prices of essential goods and administrative failures. Speaking in Cleveland, Obama said voters had seen unprecedented chaos, cruelty, corruption and incompetence over two years and that they could now say enough is enough. He blamed Trump for current economic conditions, saying prices were higher than before he took office. Obama also said Iran had gained de facto veto power over the Strait of Hormuz through the conflict. Trump, campaigning in Georgia, said America was entering a 'golden age', acknowledged oil prices were temporarily high and promised $5,000 to every adult if Republicans win Congress. He accused Democrats of plundering national wealth and wrecking the border. Trump voted early in Florida with Melania Trump, and the midterms will determine congressional control.
Where accounts differ. Channel i reports Obama's Cleveland remarks and Trump's Georgia speech as a BBC-sourced account, while Desh TV adds that Obama mocked White House decor and that Trump made migration claims about Libya, Yemen, Haiti and Somalia; these extra details appear only in Desh TV.

Channel iStated as fact
Headline dramatises Obama's criticism with a colloquial 'thrashing' verb, and narration frames Trump's defence pejoratively, though both sides' campaign speeches are reported with attribution.
One of the six outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.
The paper's own narration evaluates, which places it in the top band.

Evidence
1Word choiceHeadline voice
ট্রাম্পকে তুলাধোনা করলেন ওবামা
Colloquial charged verb 'তুলাধোনা' (thrashed) intensifies what the body describes as criticism.
2Word choiceReporter voice
সাফাই গেয়ে
'সাফাই গাওয়া' (justifying/whitewashing) is a pejorative verb for Trump's defence where 'defended' would suffice.
3Word choiceReporter voice
ট্রাম্প দাবি করেন
Uses 'দাবি করেন' for Trump while Obama's statements get neutral 'বলেন', a mild asymmetry.
4Ad hominemAttributed quote voice
বিশৃঙ্খলা, নিষ্ঠুরতা, দুর্নীতি ও অযোগ্যতা
Obama's quoted invective against the administration, proportionate campaign rhetoric.
5CoverageReporter voice· not scored
ইরান ও ইউক্রেনের যুদ্ধের কারণে জ্বালানির দাম বেড়ে যাওয়ায় চাপের মুখে রয়েছেন তিনি।
Trump's side is present but Obama's attacks get more space; reasonably balanced overall.

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.
