Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Trade war could permanently alter Canada-US cross-border commerce?
- Of the 8 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 63% are rated left, 37% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Trade war could permanently alter Canada-US cross-border commerce left or right?
- 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 Trade war could permanently alter Canada-US cross-border commerce biased?
- Trade war could permanently alter Canada-US cross-border commerce is one event reported by 8 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.
- Which side is not reporting Trade war could permanently alter Canada-US cross-border commerce?
