BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

From Singapore's capital, the focus is on the city-state's perspective, with articles primarily reporting on American statements and stance, rather than the Omani voice itself.

Singaporean outlets prefer to rely on wire service reports, largely reproducing content from Reuters, without distinct local reporting on the consequences for regional supply chains.

The government of Singapore notes that the coverage of Gulf monarchies, such as Qatar, the Emirates, and Kuwait, is limited, with their interpretation of the American threat to an ally largely absent from the retained articles.
