The Supreme Court cancelled the Patna High Court's bail to expelled JD(U) MLA Anant Singh in the Dularchand Yadav murder case and told him to surrender by December 1. It also asked Bihar Police to finish the investigation within four months, while Singh denies the allegations and calls the case a political conspiracy.
Why it matters: The case involves a sitting Bihar legislator, a murder linked to rival parties and a top-court view on bail for politicians with criminal records.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.
Based on 5 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 2 of 15 (Times of India, The Hindu). Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.
All five outlets report the order in a neutral tone and differ mainly in which details they add, such as the FIR allegations, the party action and Singh's reaction.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: A court report on a murder case bail hearing involving a politician. It has no religion, social justice or statism angle, and it reports both sides' arguments plainly.
Why: Reports a court order on bail and a politician's reaction; no religion, social justice or statism angle, and no framing for or against the government.
Why: Court-order report on a criminal case involving a Bihar MLA and rival parties. No religion, social-justice or statism angle, and no framing for or against the government.
Why: Court-and-crime report on bail cancellation and party expulsion; no religion, social justice or statism angle, and the Bihar government's actions are reported factually without praise or criticism.
Why: Court order in a murder case involving an expelled MLA; plain report with no ideological framing on religion, social justice or statism, and no pro- or anti-government tilt.
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.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:
| Wires and the top 20 outlets | checked every 5 minutes |
| All other outlets | checked every 15 minutes |
| New story | goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage |
| Live stories | new articles added every 15 minutes; summary rewritten at most hourly |
| Home page order | every 15 minutes |
New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
