A Delhi-Srinagar sleeper bus was attacked with stones and bricks at a dhaba in Karnal, Haryana, and an elderly passenger was hurt. Haryana Police say it began as a parking dispute and two men have been named, while the driver and J&K leaders allege a hate motive.
Why it matters: The incident raises questions about the safety of Kashmiri travellers on Indian highways and about relations between the J&K and Haryana governments.
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 6 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 4 of 15 (Times of India, India Today, Aaj Tak, Times Now).
All six articles are tagged Neutral toward the Haryana government; they differ mainly on whether to lead with the police's parking-dispute account or the hate-crime allegation.
Why: Touches communal-hate angle but reports police finding and driver's allegation evenly, with CM reactions from both states; no loaded language or clear ideological tilt, so centre.
Why: Very short piece touching communal-security angle; neutral reporting of condemnation and state assurance, no loaded language. Mostly boilerplate page text, so few signals.
Why: Centres safety of Kashmiri minority-region travellers and hate-crime framing, with civil-liberty concern; sourcing is mostly Kashmiri leaders, but motive is noted as unestablished and Haryana's response is included.
Why: Reports an attack on Kashmiri travellers through J&K parties' condemnations, framing it as hate crime and a safety issue for minorities. Includes the BJP voice and Haryana's assurance, so the tone stays balanced.
Why: Reports driver's hate-crime claim, Omar Abdullah's reaction and police's parking-dispute account evenly; no loaded wording. Slight minority-safety angle but police rebuttal gets equal space, so near centre.
Why: Reports a road-rage stone attack on a Kashmir-bound bus with police account and Omar Abdullah's reaction; no policy, religion or identity framing, so not ideological and balanced toward the Haryana government.
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:

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.
