Former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, 98, was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi on Friday evening with a chest infection. Reports say he is in the pulmonary department, his condition is stable and doctors are monitoring him.
Why it matters: Advani is a founding figure of the BJP and a Bharat Ratna recipient, so his health draws wide public attention.
Based on 18 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 8 of 15 (Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, India Today, Aaj Tak, Zee News, ABP, Dainik Bhaskar).
All outlets report the admission in a neutral tone; they differ only in background detail, such as past hospital stays and PM Modi's recent visit.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: A health report on a veteran leader with a factual biography. It takes no policy position and carries no loaded framing or government angle, so it is not ideological.
Why: Rolling update led by Advani's hospitalisation, with brief neutral items on courts, the EC and protests. No loaded wording or policy framing, so no ideological lean.
Why: A health update on a veteran politician with biographical background; it touches no policy, identity, social justice or statism dimension, and its tone is factual.

Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
