Thin on the left so far

Only 1 of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

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.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump for the first time next week in New York. The meeting is expected to occur at the United Nations General Assembly. Discussions between the two leaders are anticipated to focus on international issues, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and energy.

When the meeting is scheduled

Some digests indicate the meeting is scheduled for 22 September. The Daily Mirror, which published a full report, stated the meeting is set to take place next week, but did not specify a date. Other reports also state the meeting will occur next week without providing a specific date.

What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated digests mention the specific date of 22 September for the meeting, which was included in some other digests. The Daily Mirror's full report did not mention the Falkland Islands or Northern Ireland rows, which were highlighted in some right-rated digests.

Is Andy Burnham to meet Donald Trump in New York next week left or right?
Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 8 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.
