Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Steve Paikin's Healthcare Podcast Featured Weekly?
- Of the 15 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 100% are rated left, 0% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Steve Paikin's Healthcare Podcast Featured Weekly left or right?
- The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 100% of the 15 rated outlets on it are rated left — so far this is a story carried mostly by the left. Coverage of this one has settled, so that is unlikely to move much now.
- Is the coverage of Steve Paikin's Healthcare Podcast Featured Weekly biased?
- Steve Paikin's Healthcare Podcast Featured Weekly is one event reported by 15 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.
