Where the score comes from

Each check on its own, out of 10. Tap one to see the sentences that scored.

• Misleading headlineDoes the headline hide who killed Palestinians, reduce them to a number, leave out deaths the article itself reports, or claim more than the article shows?6.3n=11
• Labels used for one side onlyAre the dead, or the institution they belonged to, filed under a militant affiliation in the outlet's own voice, with no equivalent label on Israeli forces?6.0n=7
• Turns the dead into numbersAre Palestinian deaths reported as human lives, with names and stories, or as abstract numbers, and are Israeli victims named while Palestinians are not?5.0n=5
• Leaves Palestinians outDoes the article put Israeli victims and captives on the page while Palestinian victims are absent, and never state the scale of Israel's killing in Gaza?4.0n=8
• Leaves out the lawHow the article treats international law: war crimes, genocide allegations and legal authority.4.0n=16
• Hides who did the killingWhen Israel kills, is it named as the killer, or does passive voice hide who did it? Violence against Israelis is set aside: hiding Hamas's agency is not the bias this measures.1.3n=6
• Casts doubt on Palestinian sourcesAre Palestinian sources hedged ('Hamas-run ministry says') while Israeli and Western officials are quoted without qualification?0.0n=3
• Gives one side the spaceWhose voices are quoted or paraphrased, and does one side get materially more space?0.0n=16
• Doubts one side’s death tollDoes each side's death toll carry the same burden of sourcing, or is one side's toll stated as plain fact while the other's is attributed and tagged?0.0n=5
• Who it blames for the ceasefireWho is blamed for blocking or breaking a ceasefire, and how negotiation leverage is framed.0.0n=3
• Takes army claims on trustAre military claims that the dead were legitimate targets carried without the verification caveat the article applies to Palestinian sources?Not yetn=0
• Hostages and prisoners described differentlyAre Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees described with the same care, or asymmetrically?Not yetn=0
• Misuses the Hamas labelAre 'Hamas-affiliated' labels applied accurately, or used to justify harm to civilians?Not yetn=0
