Caveats
The stance is toward the US as represented by the Trump administration; coverage is consistently critical of Trump's policies and leadership, but not hostile to the US as a nation. The entity is the US, but the headlines focus overwhelmingly on Trump, so the stance reflects the outlet's treatment of the US under Trump.
