Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigns for Democrats?
- Of the 17 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 47% are rated left, 53% are rated centre, 0% 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 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigns for Democrats left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 17 rated outlets on this story, 47% are rated left, 53% are rated centre, 0% 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 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigns for Democrats biased?
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigns for Democrats is one event reported by 19 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.
