• Quotes critics and opponents of Trump prominently
• Uses distancing verbs and ironic framing ('Trump says', 'Trump claims')
• Highlights Trump's setbacks and controversies
• Occasional neutral reporting of Trump's actions

Several headlines are neutral or factual (e.g., 1, 12, 21), and one (11) is positive via PM Modi's praise, but the overall selection skews toward critical voices, Trump's denials, and negative outcomes. The outlet does not consistently lionize or celebrate Trump.

• Quotes PM Modi authoritatively as a global statesman
• Foregrounds his diplomatic achievements and initiatives
• Uses positive framing like 'historic', 'mega', 'strategic turning point'
• Includes personal anecdotes and celebrity interactions that humanize him

Headline 6 reports a critical response from Trump but frames it as India's measured reply, not attacking Modi. Headline 17 notes a speech cancellation due to protests but does not blame Modi. Overall, the outlet treats Modi as a credible, authoritative leader and amplifies his statements and actions positively.

• sensationalised framing of Epstein's activities
• focus on lurid details and criminal schemes
• associating Epstein with powerful figures to imply guilt by association
• use of loaded language like 'lair', 'baby ranch', 'disturbing'

The outlet's stance is uniformly negative toward Epstein, treating him as a criminal and sex offender. No headlines present a neutral or positive view of Epstein; all coverage is accusatory or exposes his alleged crimes and connections.

• portrays US actions as aggressive or blundering
• uses negative framing for US policies and figures
• highlights controversies and conflicts involving the US

The entity is the US as a country, not a single leader; coverage includes both critical headlines about Trump's tariffs and military actions, and neutral or positive mentions of US companies (Google, Nvidia) and diplomatic talks. The overall stance leans skeptical due to repeated negative framing of US government actions.

• factual reporting of political events
• quoting multiple actors without overt editorializing
• occasional use of evaluative language in opinion pieces
• focus on India-Bangladesh relations and domestic politics

The bundle covers a range of actors (BNP, Jamaat, Yunus, Hasina) with no consistent positive or negative stance toward 'BD' as a country entity. Headlines are largely descriptive of political developments, with some opinion pieces that critique specific figures (e.g., Yunus, Jamaat) but not the country itself. Stance is neutral overall because the outlet does not systematically frame Bangladesh positively or negatively.

• reports government actions and statements without evaluative language
• includes both positive and negative coverage of India-related events
• quotes officials and critics without clear editorial alignment
• covers domestic issues (crime, health, politics) factually

Coverage of India as a country is broad and mixed; some headlines highlight government achievements (e.g., AI summit, trade deal) while others report on corruption, crime, and infrastructure failures. No consistent positive or negative stance toward the entity 'IN' (India) as a whole.

• highlights internal crises and failures
• uses distancing verbs for official claims
• foregrounds opposition figures' suffering
• frames Pakistan as unstable and conflict-ridden

Coverage is mixed: some headlines report official statements neutrally (e.g., #1, #2), but the overall selection emphasizes political turmoil, security failures, and humanitarian crises, creating a skeptical stance toward the Pakistani state and its institutions.

• focuses on leadership casualties and vulnerability
• uses distancing verbs like 'believed to be killed' and 'targeted'
• highlights internal repression (e.g., sentencing of Narges Mohammadi)
• frames Iran's actions as threats (e.g., 'Hormuz threat', 'cheap drones at expensive targets')

Headlines 6 and 10 use evaluative language ('ruthless') about Khamenei, indicating a critical stance toward the regime. Headline 20 reports a human rights issue (jailing of a Nobel laureate), which implies negative framing. However, some headlines are neutral or factual (e.g., 14, 17), and the outlet does not consistently delegitimize the entire country; the stance is more skeptical of the leadership than hostile to Iran as a whole.

• foregrounding Epstein-linked scandals involving UK figures
• negative framing of UK political leadership under Starmer
• focus on UK institutional failures and embarrassing incidents
• neutral or positive coverage of UK individuals at AI summit

Coverage is mixed: positive framing of Rishi Sunak and UK attendees at AI summit (headlines 1, 2, 14) contrasts with heavy negative focus on Epstein-related arrests and political pressure on Starmer. The overall stance leans skeptical/critical due to the volume and prominence of scandal coverage, but the entity (GB) is not uniformly treated negatively.
