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

  • The two left-rated digests, from Global News and the Toronto Star, both noted that this was the second vandalism incident at the bakery in under three months. The Global News digest described the bakery as a “self-serve” location, while the Toronto Star digest included the detail that the graffiti was only faintly visible.

Centre

  • The centre-rated digest from Castanet also reported that this was the second incident at the bakery in less than three months. It described the graffiti as a “faint outline” of the words “Action anti tech” and specified that the vandalism occurred overnight on Wednesday.

Right
