• Quotes Trump's aggressive or dismissive statements without endorsement
• Frames Trump as impulsive or uninformed via opinion columns
• Highlights Mexican officials' resistance to US pressure
• Reports US actions (ICE, deportations) with negative implications for Mexico

The outlet often quotes Trump directly, which can be neutral, but opinion pieces and selection of headlines (e.g., Trump insulting NATO, calling Iran's leader a lightweight, celebrating Mueller's death) tilt toward a skeptical stance. The entity is 'US' but coverage focuses almost entirely on Trump, so stance toward the US as a country is inferred from treatment of its leader. Some headlines are neutral (e.g., meeting with DEA, sports success).

• amplifies Sheinbaum's announcements and achievements
• uses neutral or positive framing for government actions
• includes opinion columns critical of administration
• quotes Sheinbaum authoritatively on policy

Several opinion columns (e.g., #3, #6, #16) are critical of the government, but the news headlines themselves treat Sheinbaum as a credible source and highlight her initiatives positively. The stance is toward the country MX, not the president alone; coverage of Mexico's government is broadly supportive in news items.

• Sheinbaum announces, reveals, recognizes, highlights — active, positive framing
• Quoted directly without distancing verbs, her statements are taken as fact
• Negative or critical headlines are attributed to others (Trump, opposition, columnist), not the outlet's own voice
• Headlines foreground her initiatives and achievements (Plan B, crime reduction, agreements)

Headlines 7 and 23 are critical but are clearly attributed to a columnist (Mario Maldonado, Javier Martín Reyes), not the outlet's editorial stance. Headline 8 reports Trump's criticism, not the outlet's own. The outlet's own headlines consistently present Sheinbaum as an active, credible leader.

• Quotes Trump's aggressive or dismissive statements without endorsement
• Includes opinion pieces critical of Trump's knowledge or leadership
• Frames Trump's actions as threats or provocations
• Highlights opposition to Trump's proposals

The outlet often quotes Trump directly, giving him a platform, but the editorial selection and accompanying opinion pieces lean critical. Headline 19 shows Trump's callous remark reported without explicit condemnation, but the overall framing of his actions as threats and the inclusion of critical columns suggest a skeptical stance.
