Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover New Brunswick announces $2.2 million for environmental projects?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 100% are rated left, 0% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is New Brunswick announces $2.2 million for environmental projects left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 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 New Brunswick announces $2.2 million for environmental projects biased?
