On 1 of those stories, outlets rated left were largely absent from the coverage and BlackSportsOnline ran the story anyway.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as BlackSportsOnline, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
