None 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.

What the coverage left out

Questions about this coverage

How did the left and right cover Dakota Johnson says she would kiss Anne Hathaway for life?
Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 50% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 12. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
Is Dakota Johnson says she would kiss Anne Hathaway for life 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 Dakota Johnson says she would kiss Anne Hathaway for life biased?
Dakota Johnson says she would kiss Anne Hathaway for life is one event reported by 12 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.
