A reader who follows the left would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.

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.
