Missing from the right
Only 3 of the 35 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.
A reader who follows the right would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.

Coverage comparison
The left-rated reports focused on Stacker.com's compilation of cheapest gas stations across various US states, including Washington, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana. These digests indicated that Stacker.com used Gas Buddy data for their lists.
The centre-rated reports highlighted Stacker.com's lists of the cheapest gas stations in specific states. KMIZ provided a full report detailing the cheapest stations in Missouri, including specific addresses and prices. Other centre-rated outlets published digests mentioning Stacker.com's compilation of gas prices in states such as Washington, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, all using Gas Buddy data.
The right-rated reports mentioned Stacker.com's compilation of cheapest gas stations in Wisconsin and North Carolina, noting the use of Gas Buddy data. These were digests and did not provide specific price details for Missouri.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated digests mentioned the specific gas prices or locations within Missouri. The right-rated digests did not mention Missouri at all.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
13 rated outlets
- gonzagabulletin.com reported that Stacker.com compiled a list of the cheapest gas stations in Washington using data from Gas Buddy. Daily Post‑Athenian and Crossville Chronicle each noted a similar Stacker.com list for Tennessee, also based on Gas Buddy data. ashepostandtimes.com, The Times‑Tribune, Commonwealth Journal and Goshen News described Stacker.com lists for North Carolina, Kentucky (two outlets) and Indiana, respectively, all citing Gas Buddy.
- None of the seven left‑rated digests mention Missouri, the state central to the main story, nor do they provide any price figures or cost estimates for the stations listed. Each digest limits its content to the statement that Stacker.com compiled a list for the named state using Gas Buddy data.
- The digests do not include quotations, local perspectives, or additional analysis beyond the brief description of Stacker.com’s compilation. As a result, the left‑rated coverage offers only the basic fact that a third‑party list exists for each state, without elaborating on regional price trends or consumer impact.
Centre
19 rated outlets
- The centre‑rated outlets all reported that Stacker.com produced a list of the cheapest gas stations in a particular state, using data supplied by Gas Buddy. The reports indicated the source of the price information and the geographic focus for each article.
- KMIZ published a full report for Missouri that listed eight stations, gave each address and the regular‑fuel price, and noted that the stations were ordered by the lowest price. The list placed Casey’s at the top with a price of $3.64.
- The digests for Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Mississippi named only Stacker.com and Gas Buddy as the source; they did not provide station names, addresses, price figures, or the ranking method that KMIZ included.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri?
- Of the 35 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 37% are rated left, 54% are rated centre, 9% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 37. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.

- Neither side dominates it. Of the 35 rated outlets on this story, 37% are rated left, 54% are rated centre, 9% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided. A story is not left or right in any case; the outlets that carried it are what carry ratings.
- Is the coverage of Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri biased?
- Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri is one event reported by 37 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
