Khaleej Times
United Arab EmiratesKhaleej Times is an English-language daily newspaper based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, founded in 1978. Its headlines are dominated by the Gulf states, followed by the United States, Iran and India, with Pakistan and Israel next. Economy leads the mix, with diplomacy, society and security behind. Its stance is consistently favourable toward the UAE and mostly favourable toward India, neutral toward the United States, and hostile toward Iran.
Political leaning and stance
Khaleej Times headlines are favourable toward the United Arab Emirates in every month measured, in a supportive, promotional and nation-branding tone, with official voices treated as authoritative. India is treated favourably in most months, with some neutral ones. Iran is the sharpest contrast, covered in hostile and delegitimising terms in the month it is measured. The United States and Donald Trump are mostly reported neutrally, with critical distance, and turn more skeptical over the summer. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
