Thin on the right so far
None of the 24 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.
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.

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
15 rated outlets
- All twelve left‑rated outlets reported that New York first responders who served on 11 September 2001 are expected to attend a British Columbia memorial marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Each digest placed the event in Surrey and described it as a border ceremony.
- None of the left‑rated digests mention any other participants, officials, or the exact date of the ceremony, and they provide no detail on programme elements, security arrangements, or statements from organisers.
Centre
9 rated outlets
- Energetic City led on New York first responders joining a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Narcity led on the same fact and noted that organizers said the guests are among hundreds of first responders attending the annual Northwest 9/11 Memorial at the Peace Arch monument on the British Columbia‑Washington border. The remaining centre outlets each led on the core fact that New York first responders will be present.
- None of the centre digests provide quotations from organizers or officials. Only Narcity’s digest mentions military and border officers and dignitaries from both countries; the other seven digests omit any reference to those participants. No centre outlet includes a cost estimate or additional logistical details.
