• frames Trump's actions as threats or aggressive demands
• uses distancing or negative verbs like 'renews demand', 'appears to flip off', 'sues'
• highlights criticism from allies, opponents, and analysts
• foregrounds controversies and conflicts of interest

Some headlines are neutral factual reports (e.g., pardons, nominations), but the overall selection emphasizes Trump's contentious moves and negative reactions, with frequent critical framing and analysis.

• frames Trump's actions as threats or posturing
• highlights opposition from Europe, Greenlanders, and US public
• uses distancing language like 'threats', 'dust-up', 'posturing'

• highlights conflicts and controversies involving the US government
• uses distancing or negative framing for US actions (e.g., 'crackdown', 'threat', 'scathing')
• foregrounds opposition and criticism of US policies
• selects stories that expose failures or tensions within US institutions

The entity is 'US' as a country, but coverage focuses overwhelmingly on the Trump administration's actions and policies, which are treated critically. Some headlines report on US government actions neutrally (e.g., 3, 10, 20), but the overall selection emphasizes negative outcomes, internal dissent, and international pushback. The stance is skeptical (-1) rather than hostile (-2) because some headlines are factual or mixed, and the outlet does not use consistently delegitimizing language about the US as a whole.

• factual reporting of events and statements
• focus on Machado's actions and risks
• balanced coverage of both opposition and government figures
• use of neutral language in most headlines

Coverage is primarily factual and event-driven, with no consistent evaluative language toward VE as a country. Headlines about Machado are neutral or slightly sympathetic (e.g., 'daring escape'), while those about Maduro are factual (e.g., 'capturing a president'). The entity is a country, not a person, so stance is assessed as neutral overall.

• uses survivor testimony to condemn Epstein
• highlights Epstein's connections to powerful figures as scandalous

• frames Powell as victim of Trump's attacks
• uses Powell's own words authoritatively
• highlights economic stakes of conflict with Trump
• portrays Powell as fighting for the economy

Headlines 1, 12, and 11 report criminal investigation neutrally, but overall coverage treats Powell as a credible, sympathetic figure under political assault, not as a wrongdoer.

• uses negative framing verbs like 'criticize', 'trolls', 'rant', 'scathing'
• highlights opposition and criticism from European leaders and GOP senators
• foregrounds controversy and tension over substance
• employs editorializing language ('rant', 'opportunity missed', 'all but impossible')

The entity is Trump, not CH. The outlet's stance is consistently skeptical/critical, using distancing and evaluative language, but not outright hostile; some headlines are neutral factual reports.
