BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

European institutional framing: French media judge partisan redistricting practices against their own standards of independent electoral district delimitation.

Preference for anti-Trump voices: sources cited (Springsteen via Le Monde, dissatisfied voters via RFI) overrepresent anti-Trump positions.

Limited coverage of Republican arguments: justifications for Republican electoral maps are absent from French coverage.
