Is the coverage of Jordan destroys 18 of 20 Iranian missiles biased?

Jordan destroys 18 of 20 Iranian missiles is one event reported by 16 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.
