United StatesThe United States government suffers a stinging political setback for the White House: seven weeks from the midterms, the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 vote, refuses to enforce Trump's new restrictions on mail-in voting, and Donald Trump denounces a "great defeat for Republicans".
What each one tells
same framing
AustraliaCanberra is particularly taking note of Donald Trump's unprecedented attack on his own Supreme Court, more so than the legal details of the ruling that blocks his restrictions on mail-in voting.
- United States
Moralising
part of the coverage presents the administration's approach as an attempt to divert the election rather than as a regulatory dispute settled on the basis of law.
Selective support
the narrative highlights the reaction of the Democratic prosecutor general who initiated the appeal without giving the same emphasis to the counter-argument of electoral fraud invoked by the administration.
What the account puts first
Australiafocused on the presidential reaction
the narrative devotes most of the space to Donald Trump's statement rather than the Court's reasoning.
Omission of the dissenting motives
the articles name the two dissenting judges without developing their motives.
