BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Institution-centered framing: coverage emphasizes positions from UEFA, the FA, and sports officials rather than supporter perspectives.

Preference for dramatic language: several British outlets deploy sensationalized vocabulary to characterize Infantino and his proposal.

Limited FIFA perspective: articles seldom relay the organization's own arguments, which cite 'misinformation' and commitment to continuing consultation.
