Evidence
1Word choiceHeadline voice
touts
Mildly charged verb where 'cites' or 'highlights' would carry the same information.
2Word choiceReporter voice
boasted of his endorsement
Evaluative verb 'boasted' in narration characterises the speech act rather than describing it.
3ProjectionHeadline voice
suggests they may restart war on Iran
Headline interprets Netanyahu's remarks as signalling renewed war, an inference not supported by the quoted lines shown.
4ProjectionReporter voice
suggesting the two leaders could restart their war against Iran if he wins
Narration attributes an implied intention that the excerpted quotes do not directly state.

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.
