Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a fourth term in the country's presidential election, according to the electoral court, after trailing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in the first round. Reports put his share of the runoff vote at over 51 percent and Bolsonaro's at about 48 percent, with turnout higher than expected, according to pollsters. Lula's supporters celebrated, and Workers' Party leader Edinho Silva called it a historic turning point for democracy. Lula campaigned on falling poverty and inequality and warned that Bolsonaro would cut welfare spending and weaken Brazil's sovereignty to US President Donald Trump. Analysts say Lula faces a more conservative Congress, weak growth and high public debt, and an economist said he is likely to be a lame duck from the start.

Where accounts differ. Protidiner Sangbad reports Lula's first-round deficit as 22 lakh votes and his runoff margin as 43 lakh, figures the other outlets do not give, and only Protidin and Dainik Sangbad describe the vote in terms of the Electoral Court's count and supporters' celebrations; Dainik Sangbad says the vote was on 25 October local time while others say 25 October or Sunday.

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.
