Thin on the left so far
None of the 6 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.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is campaigning in Fort Lauderdale for three progressive candidates in Florida’s Democratic primary. The rally, scheduled for 15 August 2026, is organised by left-wing groups, including the Democratic Socialists of America. Two of the candidates, Oliver Larkin and Elijah Manley, are running against incumbent House Democrats Jared Moskowitz and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz are both Jewish. Tlaib’s appearance at the rally has drawn criticism from Republican Rep. Randy Fine, the only Jewish Republican in Florida’s congressional delegation. Fine told Fox News Digital that it was 'no coincidence' Tlaib was targeting two Jewish Democrats. The flier for the rally was posted on Instagram, according to the reports.
What the coverage left out
No left-rated outlet ran the story at all. None of the right-rated digests mentioned the names of the left-wing groups organising the rally beyond describing them as 'socialist' or 'progressive'. The Sun-Sentinel’s digest did not name the candidates Tlaib is supporting or quote Fine’s remark.

- The Sun-Sentinel’s digest led on the controversy sparked by Tlaib’s visit. It described the rally as a 'late-in-the-campaign push' for progressive candidates and noted that organisers argued the outrage was unfair. The digest did not quote Fine or mention his remark that the targeting of Jewish Democrats was 'no coincidence'.
Right
5 rated outlets
- All five right-rated digests carried Fine’s remark that Tlaib’s targeting of two Jewish Democrats was 'no coincidence'. The Washington Examiner’s digest named the socialist candidates and the groups organising the rally. The other four digests, from Fox News, ussanews.com, democraticaccent.com and the Geller Report, led on the criticism of Tlaib’s actions.
- The Geller Report’s full article quoted Fine’s tweet calling Tlaib a 'Muslim terror supporter' and Laura Loomer’s tweet describing Tlaib as a 'Jihadist Congresswoman' bringing a 'band of Jew haters' to Florida. The article also quoted the Republican Jewish Coalition’s tweet linking Tlaib’s supporters to statements that 'America deserved 9/11' and that the 7 October attacks were 'largely inevitable'.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 17% are rated centre, 83% 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 Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats 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 Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats biased?
- Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats is one event reported by 6 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 Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated left had barely covered it. Coverage accretes for hours after an event, so that is where to look rather than a verdict — the split above is the current count, and it is the one to read.
- Which outlets covered Rashida Tlaib campaigns in Florida against two Jewish House Democrats?
- 6 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
- Who is Rashida Tlaib campaigning for in Florida?

Rashida Tlaib is campaigning for three progressive candidates in Florida’s Democratic primary, including Oliver Larkin, who is challenging Jared Moskowitz, and Elijah Manley, who is running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

- Why is Randy Fine criticising Rashida Tlaib?
- Republican Rep. Randy Fine criticised Rashida Tlaib for targeting two Jewish House Democrats, Jared Moskowitz and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, in Florida’s primary.

- Which outlets covered Rashida Tlaib’s Florida rally?
- The story was covered by one centre-rated outlet, the Sun-Sentinel, and five right-rated outlets: the Washington Examiner, Fox News, ussanews.com, democraticaccent.com and the Geller Report. No left-rated outlet reported on the rally, an omission noted in the coverage comparison.
