More BBC political bias

Argentina is holding its Presidential elections this weekend with a second round in a month's time if necessary. The BBC have a helpful guide to the four main candidates. Of the four, two are described as "centre-left", one as "centrist" and one as "centre-right". See if you can guess which candidates get a photograph and which don't? See if you can guess which ones get the most narrative?

Not too tricky was it, only the centre-right candidate doesn't warrant a picture.
The word counts show that the "centre-left" candidates get 148 and 116 words, the "centrist" candidate gets 113 words, the centre-right candidate gets 63 words.

Anyone would think the BBC was full of "centre-left" journalists... Oh hold on, what's that Sooty, they are. Who would have thought it?
