The Telegraph - UK
The Daily Telegraph has an initial bias rating of lean right. Our AllSides Bias Rating™ is based predominantly off of independent research. Britannica refers to the newspaper as one that takes a conservative, middle-class approach to comprehensive news coverage, while The Guardian asserts itself as a left-leaning newspaper alongside the right-leaning Telegraph. The newspaper’s traditional right-wing stances and influence over conservative activists have resulted in the newspaper being referred to by some as the Torygraph. Even when conservative support was slumping in the opinion polls as Labour ascended during the 1990s, the newspaper remained loyal to the right-wing. Additional research is needed to determine whether The Daily Telegraph should remain listed as lean right, or if it should be switched to a far right bias.

Vladimir Putin has signed a new defence pact with North Korea that includes a vow of “mutual aid” if either is attacked.
Describing the agreement with Kim Jong-un as a “comprehensive partnership treaty”, Putin said that the document “provides for mutual assistance in case of aggression against one of the parties”.
It was not clear what kind of assistance the deal involves.
The comments came following the conclusion of one-on-one talks between Putin and Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, in Pyongyang, where the Russian leader is making his first official visit since 2000.
Putin earlier thanked Kim for his support in Ukraine and said the two countries would “fight against the imperialist hegemonistic policies of the US and its satellites”.
