Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Iran's Revolutionary Guards label Trump 'big liar'?
- Of the 7 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 29% are rated centre, 71% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 18. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Iran's Revolutionary Guards label Trump 'big liar' left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 7 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Iran's Revolutionary Guards label Trump 'big liar' biased?
- Iran's Revolutionary Guards label Trump 'big liar' is one event reported by 18 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 Iran's Revolutionary Guards label Trump 'big liar'?
