Neutral summary
Mia Golam Parwar, secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and a former MP, said at a seminar in Dhaka's National Press Club on Monday (26 October) that the Awami League and BNP differ only in name, with the same character, citing extortion, killings, land grabbing and control of committees, which he said continue as before. He called on the government to revive the case over the 28 October 2006 killings and arrest the perpetrators, alleging the Awami League government withdrew the case in 2009. He accused BNP leader Tarique Rahman of reneging on a 'yes' vote in the referendum and alleged a constitutional amendment process bypassed the opposition. Jamaat assistant secretary general Hamidur Rahman Azad said the BNP government had reversed reforms made by the interim government and weakened independent institutions, and that there was no difference between the two parties' conduct.
Where accounts differ. Sarabangla.net reports the remarks without the Awami League-era case-withdrawal allegation and the Shekh Mujib and Hasina history passages, which only Naya Diganta and Dhaka Post carry; Naya Diganta and Dhaka Post also attribute the 2006 case withdrawal to the Hasina government in 2009, a claim not in Sarabangla.net.

Article analysis
Band COne-sided, no editorial voice
Daily Naya DigantaNeutral
Relays a Jamaat seminar's grave accusations against BNP and Awami League entirely through its speakers, attributed headline, with no response from the accused and one unattributed martyr label.
Four of the five outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.
The reporter's own narration carries no evaluation, which keeps it out of the top band (8 to 10).

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.
