Missing from the left

Only 5 of the 32 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

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.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told an audience at the Granite State Summit on Responsible Gaming in New Hampshire on Tuesday that he is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028. He said he will wait until after the November midterm elections to make a final decision, linking the party’s performance in those elections to his own calculations.

During the same appearance Christie called for a crackdown on prediction markets, urging state lawmakers to introduce regulations that would curb speculative betting on political outcomes. He framed the request as a matter of protecting the integrity of the electoral process.

Questions about this coverage

How did the left and right cover Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after…?
Of the 32 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 16% are rated left, 34% are rated centre, 50% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 34. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
Is Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after… left or right?
Neither side dominates it. Of the 32 rated outlets on this story, 16% are rated left, 34% are rated centre, 50% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided. A story is not left or right in any case; the outlets that carried it are what carry ratings.
Is the coverage of Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after… biased?
Chris Christie says he will decide on 2028 presidential run after midterms is one event reported by 34 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.
