Folha de S.Paulo · May 2026

• factual reporting of Lula's actions and statements
• occasional critical framing of Lula's political setbacks
• balanced coverage of Lula and opposition figures

The bundle covers Lula extensively but also includes many headlines about other political figures (Bolsonaro family, PSDB, etc.), so the stance toward Brazil as a country is diffuse. Headlines about Lula are mostly neutral or factual, with some critical framing (e.g., 'dupla derrota de Lula intensifica narrativa de fragilidade'). No consistent positive or negative treatment of Brazil as an entity.

• foregrounds legal setbacks and scandals involving Bolsonaro
• uses distancing verbs and frames around Bolsonaro's actions
• highlights political damage and internal ally concerns
• reports polling data neutrally but often in context of decline

Most headlines focus on Flávio Bolsonaro, not Jair Bolsonaro directly; the outlet's stance toward Jair Bolsonaro is inferred from coverage of his legal situation and his son's political troubles. The tone is critical but not consistently hostile, with some neutral reporting of legal and political developments.

• association with scandal (Vorcaro, 'Dark Horse')
• distancing through opposition quotes
• focus on electoral weakness and legal jeopardy
• neutral reporting of his actions but with skeptical framing

The outlet does not use overtly hostile language itself, but consistently foregrounds allegations, investigations, and electoral disadvantages, and amplifies criticism from opponents. The entity's own statements are reported without strong endorsement or delegitimization, but the selection of negative developments (scandal links, falling poll numbers) tilts the overall stance toward skeptical. The bundle is mixed with some neutral factual reporting, hence medium confidence.

• neutral reporting of actions and statements
• occasional critical framing from opposition or allies
• use of Lula as subject of policy and political moves
• some headlines highlight setbacks or criticism

Coverage is largely factual and neutral, but includes headlines that report opposition attacks (6), internal criticism (17), and narrative of fragility (22), balanced by positive policy announcements (8, 23) and polling (9). No consistent positive or negative editorial voice toward Lula.

• highlights failures and lack of strategy
• uses distancing verbs and skeptical framing
• foregrounds negative consequences of Trump's actions
• reports controversies and unmet promises

Some headlines report Trump's actions neutrally or as facts (e.g., sanctions, meetings), but the overall selection emphasizes incompetence, empty threats, and negative outcomes, with no positive or authoritative framing of Trump.

• highlights controversies and negative consequences of Trump's actions
• uses neutral or factual framing for US government actions
• reports on legal and political pushback against Trump
• includes some positive or neutral coverage of US-Brazil relations

The outlet's stance is toward the US as a country, but coverage focuses heavily on Trump's administration and its policies. The tone is generally critical of Trump's actions (e.g., deportations, threats, AI propaganda) but not uniformly hostile; some headlines report US government actions neutrally or even positively (e.g., killing of ISIS leader, AI deal). The entity is the US, not Trump personally, so the negative framing of Trump's policies may reflect a critical stance toward the current US administration rather than the country itself.

• reports Xi's actions and statements factually
• uses neutral or positive descriptors for Xi's diplomatic role
• includes negative or critical coverage of China (e.g., explosion, military consolidation, 'armadilha de Tucídides')
• quotes Xi without distancing verbs but also reports criticisms

Coverage is mixed: some headlines treat Xi as a credible diplomatic actor (e.g., #12, #17), while others report negative events or frame his power consolidation critically (#6) or highlight risks (#14). No consistent positive or negative stance toward the entity CN.

• Xi is portrayed as a key diplomatic player hosting world leaders
• Xi's statements are reported as warnings or alerts, not as claims
• Headlines emphasize Xi's control and consolidation of power
• Xi is quoted directly or indirectly as a credible source

Headline 3 uses 'consolida poder absoluto' which could be read as critical, but overall framing treats Xi as a central, authoritative figure in global diplomacy; the outlet's own evaluative language is minimal, and Xi's quotes are presented without distancing verbs.
