BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Factual-neutral framing: Singapore's coverage relays Vatican positions without explicitly confronting them against national Smart Nation policy

Preference for Western sources: the articles rely almost exclusively on AFP and Vatican dispatches, without Southeast Asian or Singapore voices on the topic

Limited coverage of regional implications: the Southeast Asia angle—where competition for AI leadership between Singapore, Seoul, and Tokyo is intense—is absent from local coverage
