Caveats
Coverage is mixed: some headlines report US actions neutrally (e.g., 11, 14), but the overall selection skews toward scandals (Epstein, Clinton, Trump), risky military actions (Iran attack), and critical assessments (mayor distrust, gamble, fake video). The outlet does not consistently celebrate or lionize the US; instead it often adopts a skeptical or critical stance toward US figures and policies.
