The Star
MalaysiaThe Star is an English-language daily newspaper based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, founded in 1971. In our feed the United States comes first, followed by Southeast Asia, China and Iran, with South Korea and Russia further down. Economy is the largest share, ahead of politics, security and society, and economy and technology are the largest subjects. Its headlines about Malaysia and the United States read as neutral and mixed.
Political leaning and stance
The Star has been measured over a short period only, and the pattern is neutral throughout. Headlines about Malaysia read as neutral with mixed framing, and those about the United States as neutral and mixed, with factual reporting on US companies and government actions. Occasional critical framing targets specific US technology companies in legal and regulatory contexts, not the country, and corporate successes are sometimes shown in a positive light. No other country or person has enough headlines for a stance reading. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from March 2026 to August 2026.
