United States16 titles-1Skeptical“critical skepticism”
Patterns
- portrays Trump as indecisive or inconsistent
- frames US actions as reactive or risky
- uses advisory or cautionary language toward US policy
- highlights negative consequences of US decisions
Caveats
The entity is 'US' but coverage focuses almost entirely on Trump administration actions; stance reflects CFR's critical distance from Trump's Iran policy, not hostility to the US as a country. Headlines are advisory or analytical, not celebratory.
TRUMP15 titles0Reportorial“analytical with mixed framing”
Patterns
- neutral reporting of actions and statements
- policy analysis without evaluative language toward Trump
- occasional implicit criticism via context (e.g., 'mixed messaging')
- some headlines frame Trump as a decision-maker needing to act
Caveats
Headlines are largely descriptive or analytical, not overtly hostile or celebratory. Some imply urgency or need for Trump to act (e.g., #1, #4, #10), which could be read as mild pressure but not strong stance. #15 notes 'mixed messaging' which is mildly critical but still factual. Overall, CFR maintains a policy-expert tone without clear positive or negative stance toward Trump as an entity.
