Le Figaro · March 2026

• predominantly domestic political and sports coverage
• no evaluative language toward France as a country
• entity is the setting, not the subject of stance

The entity is 'FR' (France) as a country, but the headlines cover local events, sports, and politics within France without expressing a stance toward the country itself. Stance is neutral by default.

• Quotes Macron's statements authoritatively without distancing verbs
• Foregrounds Macron's diplomatic and defense initiatives
• Uses neutral-to-positive framing for his policy announcements
• Occasional critical coverage of electoral setbacks

Headlines 17 and 21 note electoral losses, but these are reported factually without hostile framing toward Macron himself. The outlet treats Macron as a credible statesman whose words are worth amplifying, even when reporting setbacks.

• Quotes critics and opponents of Trump without balancing his perspective
• Uses distancing or delegitimizing framing (e.g., 'menaces', 'discours de haine raciste')
• Highlights Trump's setbacks and internal opposition
• Reports Trump's statements with neutral verbs but often juxtaposes negative reactions

Several headlines report Trump's actions and statements factually (e.g., 1, 8, 24), but the overall selection emphasizes criticism, opposition, and negative framing. The outlet does not consistently lionize or celebrate Trump, nor does it adopt his language; it maintains a skeptical distance.

• Quoting Trump's statements without evaluative framing
• Reporting on US actions and controversies factually
• Including critical voices (actors, states, activists) against US/Trump
• Mixing positive cultural items (sports, tech) with political coverage

The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Donald Trump and his administration, with a mix of neutral reporting on his statements and inclusion of domestic and international criticism. No consistent editorial stance toward the US as a whole; tone varies by topic.

• sports-focused headlines dominate, no political framing of GB
• royal family and celebrity stories treat GB as backdrop
• no evaluative language toward the country itself

The bundle is overwhelmingly about sports (football, rugby) and royal/celebrity news, with no editorial stance toward the country GB. Headline 19 quotes Trump criticizing Starmer, but that is Trump's stance, not Le Figaro's. No consistent positive or negative treatment of GB as a nation.

• Quotes Spanish officials without evaluative distance
• Sports coverage treats Spanish teams/players neutrally or positively
• No consistent editorial stance toward Spain as a country
• Headlines mix political, sports, and cultural topics

The entity is a country (ES), not a single actor; coverage spans politics, sports, and culture. Political headlines quote Spanish PM Sanchez neutrally or sympathetically (e.g., solidarity from Macron), but sports coverage is about clubs/players, not the nation. No clear positive or negative stance toward Spain as a whole.

• frames Iran as a war zone and source of instability
• highlights regime opacity and corruption (Setad, Khamenei)
• gives platform to opposition figures (Reza Pahlavi, shah's widow)
• uses distancing attribution for regime statements

Headlines 3 and 11 show neutral/sympathetic coverage of Iranian women's football team, complicating a purely hostile stance. The outlet's overall framing is skeptical of the regime but not uniformly hostile to the country or its people.

• grants Dati direct platform via exclusive interviews
• uses her own quotes as headlines without distancing verbs
• frames her as a credible candidate with polling data and endorsements
• reports her attacks on opponents neutrally, not critically

Headlines 2 and 8 report setbacks (poll deficit, reform benefiting opponent) but without hostile framing; overall the outlet treats Dati as a legitimate, authoritative figure whose statements are newsworthy and presented without skepticism.
