Philippine Daily Inquirer
PhilippinesThe Philippine Daily Inquirer is an English-language broadsheet based in Makati, in the Philippines, founded in 1985. Its feed is led by the United States, followed by Southeast Asia, Iran and China, with politics and diplomacy ahead of security and economy. Its headlines are critical of Donald Trump, respectful toward President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and neutral toward the Philippines as a country.
Political leaning and stance
The Inquirer is consistently critical of Donald Trump, in a skeptical but mostly factual tone that comes from selecting confrontations, threats and controversies rather than hostile vocabulary. The United States as a country is critical in most months and neutral in a few. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is treated respectfully, as an actor of legitimate statecraft, while the Philippines itself and the Duterte cases are covered in a neutral, procedural register. Iran is treated skeptically. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
