BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Germany's media outlets largely frame the story around the work-life balance issue, echoing the reasoning provided by Leavitt herself without questioning it

German publications, such as FAZ, Die Zeit, and Tagesschau, focus more on analyzing her communication style and the challenge of replacing her rather than the current political stakes

Germany's press coverage of the US midterm election calendar is limited, with only Handelsblatt explicitly linking Leavitt's departure to the upcoming elections, while other outlets do not explore this angle
