Thin on the right so far
None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.
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.
Mehmet Bilgili, a literature teacher at Farabi Anatolian High School in Osmaniye, Turkey, was shot and killed in the schoolyard. The shooter, identified as the victim's 30-year-old nephew A.E.B., was taken into custody. The Osmaniye Governor, Mehmet Fatih Serdengeçti, stated that the suspect has schizophrenia and has been undergoing psychiatric treatment. The Governor also said the attack was not directed at the school or education itself. The Ministry of National Education announced that classes were closed for two days following the incident.
Disagreement on motive
The Osmaniye Governor stated the attack was not directed at the school or education itself. However, some reports suggest the attack was due to a feud or argument between the uncle and nephew. For example, indyturk.com reported the attack was by his nephew, A.E. Bilgili, with whom he had a feud. Tr724 stated A.E.B. shot and killed his uncle, Mehmet Bilgili, a literature teacher who raised him, in an argument in the schoolyard. YASAM GAZETESI reported a man seriously injured a high school teacher by shooting him with a gun in the schoolyard due to a pre-existing feud.
What the coverage left out
None of the left or centre-rated digests mention the Ministry of National Education's announcement that classes were closed for two days following the incident. The Osmaniye Governor's statement that the suspect has schizophrenia and has been undergoing psychiatric treatment was not mentioned in the centre-rated digests.

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.
How each side covered it

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 33% are rated left, 67% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 39. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school 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 Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school biased?
- Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school is one event reported by 39 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 Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated right 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 Teacher Mehmet Bilgili killed by nephew at Osmaniye school?
- 39 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.
