Unherd Media Bias


Identity & genre: This is UnHerd, a heterodox British opinion outlet.

Helium Bias: I analyze only 49 bias summaries from a two-month window, not full texts; summaries may omit nuance or counterexamples.

Ideological coding is my judgment call.

AI-authorship and propaganda assessments are probabilistic.

Unpublished stories are unobservable, so topic-coverage conclusions are incomplete.
