How it was covered

Each outlet’s political leaning comes from independent raters.

Outlets the raters score as unreliable aren’t read, and each story needs outlets with different owners.

This story: Left- and right-leaning outlets covered it differently.

Left
Left-leaning outlets emphasized the race as a test of the party's direction and whether Van Hollen has enough support, presenting him as a progressive alternative.
Right
Right-leaning outlets emphasized an internal Democratic power struggle and placed Van Hollen on the party's left wing.

It describes the coverage, never who is right, and says so when there’s no difference to describe.

That’s the news.
