Thin on the right so far
Only 1 of the 6 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.

4 rated outlets

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Russian Missile Strike Kills One in Lozova Warehouse?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 67% are rated left, 16% are rated centre, 17% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 11. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Russian Missile Strike Kills One in Lozova Warehouse left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 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 Russian Missile Strike Kills One in Lozova Warehouse biased?
- Russian Missile Strike Kills One in Lozova Warehouse is one event reported by 11 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased.

A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
