The Daily Star is an English-language daily newspaper based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, founded in 1991. Its headlines centre on the United States and Iran, followed by South Asia, India, Israel and Pakistan, with politics the largest share and diplomacy the most common subject. Its stance reads as critical of Donald Trump and of United States policy, with neutral stretches when the reporting is event-driven.
The Daily Star's measured stance concerns the United States and Donald Trump. Trump is treated critically but not hostilely, and the United States alternates between critical and neutral: critical when the subject is US policy, brinkmanship or unilateral actions, and neutral when the headlines simply report what officials say and order. The criticism comes from the selection of erratic, aggressive or trivial actions rather than from charged wording. Other countries have too few headlines for a measured stance. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
