Thin on the right so far

Only 1 of the 18 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 Barry Moore has won the election to the U.S. Senate representing Alabama. He defeated Democrat Everett Wess in the race. Moore, who currently serves as a congressman from south Alabama, received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump prior to his primary runoff victory earlier this year.

Coverage

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

12 rated outlets

  • The majority of left‑rated digests reported that Republican Barry Moore secured the Alabama Senate seat, beating Democrat Everett Wess. They identified Moore as a south‑Alabama congressman and noted his endorsement by former President Donald Trump after his primary runoff victory. This wording appears in Rocky Mountain Outlook, Thorold Today, Elora Fergus Today, Bowen Island Undercurrent, ElliotLakeToday.com, Orillia Matters, Newmarket Today and thealbertan.com.
  • Two digests gave only the basic result. The Seattle Times noted Moore’s victory and his opponent’s name, while The Daily Item mentioned only Moore’s win. The Hamilton Spectator and St Catharines Standard provided only a link placeholder without any summary. No additional context appears in those four outlets.
  • Across all left‑rated digests, no outlet included vote totals, margin of victory, campaign finance details, policy positions, or reactions from other politicians. The coverage therefore remained limited to the election outcome, the defeated opponent, Moore’s congressional background and the Trump endorsement where reported.

Centre

5 rated outlets

  • Centre-rated reports highlighted Republican Barry Moore's victory in the U.S. Senate election for Alabama.

Questions about this coverage

Of the 18 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 67% are rated left, 27% are rated centre, 6% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 20. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.

Neither side dominates it. Of the 18 rated outlets on this story, 67% are rated left, 27% are rated centre, 6% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided.

Is the coverage of Barry Moore wins Alabama Senate seat biased?

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.
