BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Sovereignist framing: the perspective systematically prioritizes the non-interference and international law framework, downplaying the victimhood of the families of the four Americans killed in 1996

Preference for multilateralism: the narrative values the positions of states opposed to Washington (Cuba, China) without giving equivalent weight to US legal arguments

Low coverage of victims: the specific circumstances of the downing of the two civilian planes and the fate of the victims' families remain in the background in favor of geopolitical analysis
