Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Harvey Carignan series and podcast launched?
- Of the 16 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 50% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 19. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Harvey Carignan series and podcast launched left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 16 rated outlets on this story, 0% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 50% 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 Harvey Carignan series and podcast launched biased?
- Harvey Carignan series and podcast launched is one event reported by 19 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased.
