Is the coverage of Russian drones hit Chernomorsk workshop and cargo ships, ministry says biased?

Russian drones hit Chernomorsk workshop and cargo ships, ministry says is one event reported by 18 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.
