Coverage leans: center-left

The collective coverage leans center-left due to the inclusion of left-leaning European outlets (Haaretz, Publico, Aftonbladet) and neutral wire services, which generally report on civilian casualties with sensitivity, though the dominant tone remains factual reporting rather than overt political advocacy.
