Band BLocalised faults
The Times of IndiaNeutral
Reports BJP protests factually with an attributed headline, calling the remark 'controversial' in its own voice while including Congress's defence and context about the exchange.
Four of the five outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.
The faults are local; the reporter's narration stays descriptive.

Evidence
1Word choiceReporter voice
controversial 'baap' remark
The reporter labels the remark 'controversial' in its own voice, a mild evaluative framing.
2Word choiceReporter voice
slammed Congress president
The subheadline uses the charged verb 'slammed' where 'criticised' would carry the same information.
3Ad hominemAttributed quote voice
all limits were crossed
A quoted BJP leader frames the remark as abusive and boundary-crossing; this is source rhetoric.
4ProjectionParaphrased source voice
out of political frustration
A paraphrased source attributes motive to Congress without evidence.
5CoverageReporter voice
Congress defends Kharge's remarks
The Congress response is present but occupies far less space than the protest coverage.

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.
