Thin on the left so far

None of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

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.

President Donald Trump attended a shipbuilding event at the Tradepoint Atlantic industrial hub in Sparrows Point, Baltimore County, on Oct. 6, 2026. He used the occasion to announce a large defence manufacturing investment that will feature a new submarine factory and other naval capacity projects.

During the speech Trump referred to the Baltimore Ravens, noting the injury of quarterback Lamar Jackson and commenting on the team’s high salaries and recent record. He also asserted that the U.S. Navy had cut drug entry by sea by 97 % and warned that the world would not believe the country’s new set of drones.

The event also included a brief press appearance as Trump departed the White House to travel to Baltimore, where he addressed a pool of reporters about maritime dominance and industrial revival.

What the left omitted

No left‑rated outlet ran the story, so none of the left‑leaning media mentioned any of the details about the defence investment, the Ravens, the drug‑seizure claim or the new drones.
