We aren’t stating a tone gap for Volodymyr Zelensky: only 2 episodes from the right covered them in this window, under the 3-episode minimum we require on both sides. The tone bars above show what each side actually aired.
We don’t judge whether anything said on air is true. Each show’s editorial lean is assigned from published third-party media-bias ratings — before we look at any of its coverage — and the two accounts above are each written from that side’s own airtime, neither in view of the other.
