Its coverage-diversity score is just 37 out of 100, meaning the reporting is concentrated heavily on one side of the spectrum rather than spread evenly. Notably, no right-leaning outlet in our index has picked the story up yet — a right-side blind spot that often signals a topic resonating more with progressive audiences.

On reliability, 22 of the 22 rated outlets carry a high or mostly-factual reliability rating (A or B). Ratings are drawn from independent assessments and are meant to help you weigh each report, not to tell you which to trust.

This story has been covered over the span of about 5 days, making it a longer-running thread rather than a single news flash.

Below, the same story is laid out side by side as left, center, and right outlets reported it. Read across the columns and watch what changes: the headline emphasis, which facts lead, the adjectives, and what each side leaves out. The story itself rarely changes — the framing almost always does.
