Thin on the left so far

None of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Neel Kashkari, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, stated that inflation in the United States is still too high and is not limited to oil prices. He appeared on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" program on September 20, 2026. The Federal Reserve had recently, the week before Kashkari's remarks, unanimously decided to increase its policy interest rate by a quarter-point, setting a target range of 3.75% to 4.00%.

Coverage Disagreements

While most reports indicate Neel Kashkari stated inflation is too high across the US economy and not just oil prices, one unrated outlet, sofokleousin.gr, identified him as "Neil Cascari" and "chairman of the Federal Reserve" rather than president of the Minneapolis Fed.

What the coverage left out

Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 8 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
Is the coverage of Kashkari: US Inflation Remains Too High Across Economy biased?
