Thin on the left so far
Only 2 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.
The Television Academy has confirmed that Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo will participate in a face-to-face debate on November 19, ten days before the general elections. María Casado, president of the Television Academy, will moderate the event. The debate will be divided into five thematic blocks: housing, economy and taxation, social policy, corruption and democratic regeneration, and migration and foreign policy.
The agreement for the debate was reached after negotiations involving representatives from the PSOE and PP, and the Executive Committee of the Debates. The debate is scheduled to be broadcast on multiple television channels. Atresmedia has confirmed it will be shown on Antena 3 and La Sexta. RTVE and Mediaset are also expected to broadcast the event.
Who will open and close the debate
According to a draw conducted by the Television Academy, Alberto Núñez Feijóo will open the debate, and Pedro Sánchez will have the final word. This detail was reported by Catalunyapress and diarimes.com.
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated reports mentioned the specific programming changes that would occur on channels like La Sexta or RTVE due to the debate broadcast, details that were included in the left-rated report. No centre-rated outlet covered this story.

How other outlets pictured it
Which photograph to run is each newsroom’s own choice. The leaning beside a name is that outlet’s published rating, not a claim that the pictures divide along it. Every picture is shown from the outlet’s own server and links to the article it ran in.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19?
- Of the 7 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 29% are rated left, 0% are rated centre, 71% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 13. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19 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 Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19 biased?
- Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19 is one event reported by 13 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 Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19?
- 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 Sánchez and Feijóo to Debate on November 19?
- 13 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.
- When will the debate between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo take place?

- The debate will be moderated by María Casado, who is the current president of the Television Academy. She will oversee the discussion and ensure the agreed-upon thematic blocks are covered.
