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.

President Donald Trump convened a roundtable at the White House focused on protecting Americans from foreign cybercrime and online scams. Officials stated that government actions this year have prevented at least $1.6 billion in losses and disrupted networks that target seniors.

During the event, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller declared that the Trump Administration has "declared cyber warfare against the cyber criminals." This initiative is reportedly guided by an executive order titled "Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against Americans."

Officials also reported $833 million in cryptocurrency restrictions as part of the efforts to combat financial fraud.

The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 73% of the 15 rated outlets on it are rated right — so far this is a story carried mostly by the right. Coverage is still arriving and that can change, which is why the figure is dated rather than fixed.
Is the coverage of Trump Administration Tackles Cybercrime and Scams biased?
Trump Administration Tackles Cybercrime and Scams is one event reported by 21 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.
