from 3 outlets' reporting

China's political elite began a four-day closed-door plenum of the Communist Party's Central Committee in Beijing on Monday, with roughly 300 members attending, Xinhua reported. President Xi Jinping opened the session by presenting a draft decision on "full and rigorous Party self-governance" aimed at tightening discipline, reducing corruption and making cadres more effective and loyal. Analysts told Al Jazeera and AFP that Xi seeks greater supervision and loyalty among officials. Xi, 73, is expected to secure a fourth term at next year's party congress. Eight Central Committee seats are vacant and 15 members are under investigation, and five of seven Central Military Commission members have been toppled. Few details will be released until the meeting ends on Thursday, when a summary of outcomes is expected.

Where accounts differ. Al Jazeera describes the plenum as the country's first since Xi's anticorruption drive began, while CNA and The Hindu give the dates and the 73-year-old Xi's expected fourth term; no substantive conflict between the accounts is reported.

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.
