Neutral summary
BNP acting secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said on Tuesday that remarks by Inspector General of Police Md Ali Hossain Fakir about reinstating crossfire had put the government in an awkward position and caused unease within it. Rizvi, speaking at a free medical camp in front of the BNP's central office at Nayapaltan, Dhaka, marking the 48th founding anniversary of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, said there were adequate laws to combat terrorism and crime. He described 17 years of misrule involving crossfire killings, enforced disappearances and secret killings, and said extrajudicial methods could never effectively control crime. Rizvi said people expect a humane Bangladesh under Tarique Rahman's leadership. On Monday, Fakir said police might resort to crossfire if the government allowed it and it became necessary to maintain law and order.

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. 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.
