Missing from the left
Only 11 of the 64 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.
The House of Representatives adopted a resolution condemning socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America on Tuesday. The vote was 220 in favour and 192 against. Eight House Democrats joined all 212 Republicans in supporting the resolution. Two Democrats voted present.
The resolution was introduced by Representative Jeff Crank (R-CO). It passed after a procedural vote on the rule for debate, which narrowly passed 210-208. The resolution included language backing President Donald Trump’s priority voting rights legislation.
Disagreement on Republican defections
Reports differ on the number of Republicans who voted against the procedural rule for the resolution. Jewish Insider, 100% FED UP!, The Hill, Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion, Washington Times, The Epoch Times, RedState, Just the News, Americans for Prosperity, and ArcaMax Publishing state that all Republicans voted for the resolution. However, Washington Examiner reports that five Republicans voted against the rule, and Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion states five Republicans voted against it to protest the handling of a plan to avert a government shutdown.
Omissions
None of the left-rated digests mention the procedural rule vote that narrowly passed. None of the centre-rated digests mention the two Democrats who voted present. None of the right-rated digests mention the two Democrats who voted present.

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
11 rated outlets
- The four left-rated outlets reported that the U.S. House of Representatives voted 220 to 192 to condemn socialism in a resolution. All noted that eight Democrats joined Republicans in passing it. The resolution named the Democratic Socialists of America and linked it to figures including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City councillor Zohran Mamdani.
- Eldiario.es and Orlando Weekly reported that the resolution also included language supporting the Save Act, a Republican-backed voter identification bill. Eldiario.es quoted Democratic Caucus chair Pete Aguilar stating the party’s support for capitalism but opposing the Save Act’s voting restrictions. Truthout carried a Democratic Socialists of America candidate’s statement that socialist ideas underpin policies like Medicare and Social Security.
- Raw Story and Eldiario.es led on the vote’s symbolic nature, with Raw Story calling it “useless” and Eldiario.es framing it as a Republican effort to counter rising progressive influence within the Democratic Party. None of the digests mentioned the Brennan Center for Justice’s warning about the Save Act’s impact on married women’s voting rights.
Centre
9 rated outlets
- Centre-rated reports from Colorado Politics, The Hill, and union-bulletin.com focused on the resolution's passage and its largely party-line nature. Colorado Politics noted that Representative Jeff Crank characterized the vote as a chance for lawmakers to "stand firm" against an ideology making inroads among Democrats. The Hill highlighted that "vulnerable Democrats" voted to denounce socialism amid midterm pressure. Union-bulletin.com, Roll Call, and ArcaMax Publishing reported that the rule for debate "squeaks by" with a narrow vote, linking it to concerns about a stopgap spending bill.
Right
44 rated outlets
- Right-rated reports from Jewish Insider, 100% FED UP!, Washington Examiner, Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion, Washington Times, The Epoch Times, RedState, Just the News, Americans for Prosperity, and ArcaMax Publishing led on the vote count and the number of Democrats who supported the resolution. Jewish Insider and Just the News specifically noted that eight Democrats joined Republicans. Washington Examiner and Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion highlighted defections among Republicans on the procedural vote. New York Post published an opinion piece arguing that the Democratic Socialists of America's agenda "promises misery for all." The Iowa Standard and Americans for Prosperity framed the vote as a way to show where lawmakers "really stand" in confronting the DSA's agenda.
Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover House votes to condemn socialism with bipartisan support?
- Of the 64 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 17% are rated left, 14% are rated centre, 69% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 86. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is House votes to condemn socialism with bipartisan support left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 64 rated outlets on this story, 17% are rated left, 14% are rated centre, 69% 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 House votes to condemn socialism with bipartisan support biased?
- House votes to condemn socialism with bipartisan support is one event reported by 86 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 House votes to condemn socialism with bipartisan support?
