Thin on the left so far
Only 6 of the 33 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
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.
The US Embassy in Moscow issued a warning on Saturday about a credible threat of a mass casualty event at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve. The embassy advised people to avoid the park, which was scheduled to host two concerts on the day of the warning. The US Embassy stated it is coordinating its response with Russian authorities.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) confirmed receiving information from the US about a planned terrorist attack. The FSB stated that appropriate measures are being taken in response to the information received through partner channels. The park's administration indicated it had no information about the threat and would continue operations as normal.
Disagreement on Park Operations
The park administration stated that it had no information about the possible threat and that park operations would continue as normal, according to Novinky.cz. However, a digest from cedarnews.net stated that the Tsaritsyno Museum was "reportedly closed after U.S. threat warning."
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated digests mention the detail that the Tsaritsyno museum park was scheduled to host two concerts on the day of the warning, a fact reported by Novinky.cz. Additionally, none of the right-rated digests mention that the US Embassy stated it is coordinating its response with Russian authorities, a detail included in the full report from Novinky.cz and digests from Bloomberg and Anadolu Ajansı.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park?
- Of the 33 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 18% are rated left, 24% are rated centre, 58% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 80. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 33 rated outlets on this story, 18% are rated left, 24% are rated centre, 58% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided. A story is not left or right in any case; the outlets that carried it are what carry ratings.
- Is the coverage of US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park biased?
- US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park is one event reported by 80 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.
- Which side is not reporting US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park?

- Which outlets covered US Embassy Warned Russia of Terror Threat at Moscow Park?
- 80 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
