Thin on the right so far
Only 4 of the 27 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.
Republican Anthony Constantino has won the election for New York's 21st Congressional District. His opponent, Democrat Blake Gendebien, conceded the race. Constantino, who founded the business Sticker Mule, secured victory by approximately 5,700 votes as absentee ballots were tallied. The final margin was two percentage points, a narrower lead than is typical for Republicans in this district.
Disagreement on vote count
One report stated that nearly 2,500 votes separated the candidates in a Mississippi Senate race, with votes still being counted. This report also noted an outstanding vote estimate of around 30,000 votes in that separate contest. Other reports focused solely on the New York 21st Congressional District race and did not mention the Mississippi election.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated digests mention the specific vote margin of approximately 5,700 votes. None of the right-rated digests mention that Constantino founded Sticker Mule. None of the right-rated digests mention that Constantino won by two percentage points in a district where Republicans typically have a double-digit lead.

- Of the 27 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 56% are rated left, 29% are rated centre, 15% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 32. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Anthony Constantino wins NY-21 House race left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 27 rated outlets on this story, 56% are rated left, 29% are rated centre, 15% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided.

- Is the coverage of Anthony Constantino wins NY-21 House race biased?
- Anthony Constantino wins NY-21 House race is one event reported by 32 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased.
