Is the coverage of US to launch land-based anti-drug operations in Latin America with… biased?

US to launch land-based anti-drug operations in Latin America with 19-country alliance is one event reported by 36 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.
