Neutral summary
Two men on a motorcycle threw crude bombs at the main gate of Amar Desh Publications on Love Road in Tejgaon, Dhaka, late on Sunday, 25 October 2026, around 10:45pm to 11pm, according to reports. A security guard, Akhtar Hossain, was injured per some reports, and Rina Khanam, a nearby shopkeeper, was also reported injured. An unexploded bomb-like object was found nearby. A general diary was filed with Tejgaon Industrial Area Police Station. The National Editors Council, in a joint statement, condemned the attack, called it part of a conspiracy against independent media, and urged arrests. Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizen Party also condemned the attack and demanded a fair investigation. Amar Desh's assistant manager Mohammad Shahid-ur Rahman confirmed the incident and said legal action was being taken. Police had not arrested anyone.
Where accounts differ. Jugantor and Bangladesh Post report only one injured person, a security guard, while Amar Desh, Naya Diganta and Protidiner Sangbad report two injured, and only Amar Desh and Naya Diganta name the shopkeeper; the Jugantor and Bangladesh Post accounts place the attack at about 10:45pm and Amar Desh at about 11pm.

Evidence
1Word choiceParaphrased source voice
গভীর ষড়যন্ত্রের অংশ
Conspiracy framing is attributed to the NEC leaders' statement, not adopted by the paper.
2Cherry pickingParaphrased source voice· not scored
আওয়ামী লীগ সরকারের শাসনামলে ২০১০ সালে
The statement links past attacks to a named government era without responding context, but it is clearly attributed to the statement.
3Source selectionReporter voice· not scored

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.
