Is the coverage of Trump claims he prevented Iran nuclear weapon biased?

Trump claims he prevented Iran nuclear weapon is one event reported by 52 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.
