• straightforward news headlines without evaluative adjectives toward the country
• mix of economic, political, and social stories with no consistent positive or negative framing of Sri Lanka as an entity
• no use of distancing or delegitimising language toward the country

The outlet reports on problems (fraud, water cuts, strikes) and positive developments (stock gains, revenue) equally, but none of the headlines frame Sri Lanka itself as a target of praise or criticism; the entity is the setting, not the subject of stance.

• Quotes Trump's statements without evaluative adjectives
• Reports US actions and threats factually
• Includes criticism of US from foreign leaders (Macron)
• Mixes positive US achievements (NASA) with contentious geopolitical coverage

The outlet reports Trump's aggressive rhetoric and threats toward Iran without overt editorializing, but also includes Macron's criticism of Trump's approach. The NASA headlines are purely positive, but the overall bundle is dominated by factual reporting of US actions and statements, with no consistent positive or negative framing of the US as an entity. The entity is the US, not Trump personally, but coverage focuses heavily on Trump's statements and actions.
