TRT World
TurkeyTRT World is the English-language international news channel of Turkey's public broadcaster TRT, based in Istanbul and launched in 2015. In our feed the United States and Iran come first, followed by Israel, Turkey and Palestine, with Pakistan, Russia and the Gulf states further down. Politics and security make up most of the output, with diplomacy by far the largest subject, then military affairs. Its headlines are critical of the United States and Donald Trump, hostile toward Israel, and sympathetic toward Iran and Turkey.
Political leaning and stance
TRT World's headlines are consistently critical of the United States and Donald Trump, framing threats, demands and coercion toward Iran as the main story, and hostile in tone toward Israel in the months where it is measured. Iran is treated sympathetically, as a victim of aggression, and Turkey favourably. The largest shift is a softening toward Trump and the United States for a stretch in early summer, when the tone turns neutral and transactional and then respectful, before it returns to skepticism. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
