Thin on the left so far
None of the 7 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.
Tech company Nvidia will establish an employee-funded political action committee, according to a source familiar with the plans. The committee will be named NVPAC and is intended to increase the company's efforts to influence U.S. policy. This initiative places Nvidia alongside other technology firms, including Meta Platforms and Alphabet's Google, which have also created similar committees to spend money influencing elections.
The creation of NVPAC was first reported by Bloomberg Government. Separately, Federal Election Commission records show that Nvidia executives Gavin Sherry and Sundeep Madra donated $443,000 to the Republican National Committee on June 24.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Nvidia to launch employee-funded US political action committee?
- Of the 7 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 57% are rated centre, 43% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 9. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Nvidia to launch employee-funded US political action committee 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 Nvidia to launch employee-funded US political action committee biased?
