BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Identity framing: Italian press emphasizes Infantino's Italian-Swiss background, a personal angle absent from purely institutional coverage.

Preference for the American diplomatic angle: Adnkronos extensively develops alleged maneuvering with Washington rather than details of internal FIFA support or opposition.

Weak coverage of African backing: the Italian pool remains focused on the European and American crisis, without mention of CAF support for Infantino.
