BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Africa-centered framing: the two articles prioritize continental support for Infantino over the details of European accusations of favoritism.

Preference for institutional sources (CAF, national federations) over critical voices like UEFA or the Norwegian Federation.

Limited coverage of the financial aspect (Forward Enterprise project, sale of World Cup shares) which is only mentioned as context for the controversy.
