Neutral summary
A fishing trawler sank in the Karnaphuli river near Akmal Ali Ghat in Chattogram after its engine failed and it was struck by a cargo ship, around 4 a.m. on Sunday, 25 October, according to Amar Desh and Ajker Patrika. Two fishermen from Hatiya upazila in Noakhali, Miraj Uddin (32) and Sharif Uddin (34), were reported missing, while a third, Kamal Uddin, was rescued alive after clinging to the cargo ship's chain, according to the reports. Ajker Patrika reported that the bodies of the two men were recovered by locals on Tuesday morning and sent to Chattogram Medical College Hospital morgue; police officer Parvez Alam confirmed the recoveries. Hatiya Nolchira naval police outpost in-charge Ashish Chandra Saha said the incident occurred in the Karnaphuli and would be reported to higher authorities. Dhaka Times, citing Tamardi union chairman Rasedul Islam, reported the men as missing, and said the crash occurred in the Meghna river.
Where accounts differ. Dhaka Times places the crash in the Meghna river, while Amar Desh and Ajker Patrika say the Karnaphuli; Dhaka Times also reports the two men only as missing, while Ajker Patrika alone reports their bodies recovered on Tuesday.

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.
