Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the event, focusing on factual reporting rather than taking a clear ideological stance. While local politicians express concern over quarry safety and illegal mining, the tone remains objective, avoiding overtly partisan language. The emphasis is on the悲剧's

Why these scores (Factual 95 · Objective 85): Factuality is high as the article provides specific details like the number of casualties, location, and quotes from witnesses and families. Objectivity is slightly lower due to the emotional language used in quoting the mother's reaction, which adds a personal and somewhat biased perspective.
