BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Purge framing: Singaporean media repeat the term 'purge' as the dominant interpretive frame, orienting the reader towards abuse of power rather than ideological coherence

Risk electoral angle: coverage prioritizes strategic consequences for the GOP in the midterms over analysis of Gallrein's concrete grievances

Limited coverage of Gallrein's profile: the winner is almost exclusively described as a 'Trump loyalist' and former Navy SEAL, without examination of his own positions or program
