Media Bias From Two Viewpoints

The subtabs for this topic show media bias in two formats:  a bias chart (from Ad Fontes Media) and media bias in columns (from AllSides).

Headline / Photo Bias

What do these two headlines say about word choice and bias?  What do the photos say to you?  Where does the AP fall in the Media Bias Chart and what does this tell you about that ranking?

            

Headline Bias

Biased reporting and biased headlines can often not be recognized without prior knowledge and awareness of current events.

Both headlines are from same paper, 11 months apart. Apr 2024 on left, March 2025 on right.  Inflation rate same both times (2.9%).  The New York Times shows bias despite a pretty neutral ranking on the Media Bias Chart.
