Framing · 2 — loaded language surfaced (spin shown, not adopted)
timesofindia
“Pakistan carries out 'calibrated strikes' near Afghanistan border”
→ Pakistan conducted strikes near the Afghanistan border. The term 'calibrated strikes' is a framing device implying precision and restraint; the factual claim is the occurrence of strikes.
aljazeera
“Afghan families mourn loved ones as border tensions with Pakistan rise”
→ Afghan families are mourning deaths as border tensions rise. 'Mourn loved ones' is emotive framing; the factual claim is that civilians died and tensions rose.
