Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim?
- Of the 12 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 75% are rated left, 25% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 14. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim left or right?
- The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 75% of the 12 rated outlets on it are rated left — so far this is a story carried mostly by the left. Coverage is still arriving and that can change, which is why the figure is dated rather than fixed.
- Is the coverage of Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim biased?
- Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim is one event reported by 14 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.
- Which side is not reporting Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim?

- Which outlets covered Carney's growth strategy offers political openings, opponents claim?
- 14 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
