Article analysis

3out of 10

Band BLocalised faults

Largely factual wire-based report of Lula's win with a mildly dramatic headline, a few agentless assessments of the challenge's prospects, and Flavio Bolsonaro's objection reported briefly alongside the rebuttals.

Three of the three outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.

The faults are local; the reporter's narration stays descriptive.

1 Straight reporting10 Campaigning

The same event, one framing

The earliest headline of each kind. Marked words are judgements in the headline itself: stated as fact or in quotation marks.

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.
