Thin on the left so far

None of the 12 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.

Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt held a pre-wedding rehearsal dinner on Friday at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump's estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the celebration. The couple is scheduled to marry on Saturday at a separate location, and Trump is not expected to attend the wedding ceremony.

Sean Hannity stated that he paid "fair market value" for the venue. Attendees at the dinner included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., along with other administration officials and Fox News colleagues. Earhardt described the event as a "dream come true" to be surrounded by loved ones.

Disagreement on specific attendees

While KIFI and KRDO reported that attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Tim Scott and Darline Graham, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, and Fox News president and executive editor Jay Wallace, the digest from The Daily Bo Snerdley mentioned Marco Rubio and RFK Jr. alongside Jeanine Pirro and Stephen A. Smith. American Wire News stated that friends, family, and colleagues gathered but did not list specific names.

What the coverage left out

None of the centre-rated reports mentioned the specific individuals Jeanine Pirro or Stephen A. Smith as attendees. None of the right-rated reports mentioned that President Trump is not expected to attend the wedding ceremony itself, nor did they include statements from Sean Hannity or Ainsley Earhardt about the event.

Is the coverage of Hannity and Earhardt host Mar-a-Lago pre-wedding dinner biased?
