• distancing verbs like 'droht' (threatens) and 'nennt' (calls) framing Trump's statements as aggressive
• evaluative framing of Trump's actions as problematic or risky (e.g., 'wenig Aussicht auf Erfolg', 'Erklärungsnot')
• focus on internal turmoil or controversial moves (Kabinettsumbildung, NATO-Austritt, Alcatraz)
• neutral or positive coverage of non-Trump US entities (Artemis crew, CIA tech) but overall entity is US under Trump

The outlet's stance is toward the US as a country, but coverage is dominated by Trump's actions and rhetoric, which are treated skeptically. Non-Trump US stories (Artemis, CIA) are neutral or positive, but the overall bundle tilts negative due to Trump's prominence. The entity is the US, not Trump personally, but the headlines conflate the two.

• distancing verbs like 'droht', 'nennt', 'soll'
• negative evaluative framing of Trump's actions as threats or crises
• expert criticism quoted without counterbalance
• focus on Trump's unilateral moves and conflicts

The outlet often reports Trump's own statements and actions factually, but the selection emphasizes aggressive, controversial, or crisis-inducing moves, and includes direct expert criticism (headline 19). The tone is consistently skeptical rather than neutral or hostile, hence -1.

• factual incident reporting without evaluative language toward the country
• mix of crime, accident, and cultural stories with no consistent framing of AT
• entity appears as setting rather than actor in most headlines

Headlines focus on local events within Austria, not on the country as an actor; stance is neutral by default as the outlet does not evaluate AT itself. Headline 15 ('Österreich feiert Prestigeerfolg') is mildly positive but refers to a sports achievement, not a policy or institutional stance.

• frames Orbán as a problem to be overcome
• uses dramatic language about his potential or actual fall
• highlights opposition victory as historic or positive
• quotes Orbán with distancing or ironic framing

The outlet's stance is toward the entity HU (Hungary) as represented by Viktor Orbán. Coverage is consistently skeptical/critical of Orbán, treating his potential or actual defeat as a positive development. The entity is not the country itself but its leader; the outlet's stance toward Hungary as a nation is not directly assessed.

• frames Orbán's era as ending or under threat
• uses distancing verbs and scare quotes around Orbán's claims
• highlights opposition victory and Orbán's loss as historic
• associates Orbán with Trump and Putin in a negative light

Headlines 1 and 14 quote Orbán directly without distancing, but the overall narrative is critical; the outlet treats Orbán as a figure whose power is waning and whose actions are suspect.
