Caveats
Several headlines are neutral or positive (e.g., #9 on battery boom, #1 on Microsoft Store), but the majority of US-related coverage is critical of government actions, ICE expansion, Trump policies, and security overreach. The outlet does not celebrate US institutions; it scrutinizes them. Stance is skeptical (-1) rather than hostile (-2) because some coverage is factual or mixed.
