Süddeutsche Zeitung · März 2026

• entity appears only in headlines about other actors or events
• no evaluative language directed at the entity
• entity not the subject of any headline

The entity 'DE' (Germany) is not the focus of any headline; coverage is about domestic politics, local events, and international affairs without framing Germany positively or negatively.

• evaluative vocabulary framing Trump negatively
• foregrounding Trump's failures and risks
• quoting critics and opponents without balancing Trump's perspective
• using ironic or dismissive language about Trump's actions

Headlines 4 and 5 show some neutral or factual reporting, but the overwhelming majority is negative. The outlet's own voice is consistently critical, and Trump is rarely quoted authoritatively.

• frames US actions as reckless or failing
• uses negative evaluative vocabulary about US leadership
• highlights US problems and controversies
• portrays US as isolated or causing harm

The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Trump administration; the outlet's stance toward the US as a country is hostile due to its leadership, not necessarily toward the American people.

• reports Merz's policy positions and criticisms of others without endorsing them
• uses neutral or distancing framing ('weist auf Risiken', 'kritisiert', 'fordert')
• includes headlines critical of Merz's choices or consequences ('keine Kritik', 'nützt Orbán')
• occasionally editorializes with evaluative language ('eisige Botschaft', 'Balanceakt')

Coverage is mixed: some headlines treat Merz as a credible actor making policy statements (2, 3, 9), while others criticize his stance or highlight negative consequences (11, 14, 15). The outlet's own voice appears in editorialized headlines (1, 12) that imply a normative standard (Völkerrecht) against which Merz is measured, but overall the bundle does not consistently favor or delegitimize him.
