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
7 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.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri?
- Of the 13 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 54% are rated left, 31% are rated centre, 15% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 14. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.

- Neither side dominates it.

- Is the coverage of Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri biased?
- Cheapest Gas Prices in Missouri is one event reported by 14 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.
