Trump wrote on Truth Social that immigration and hatred had wrecked France and urged it to close its borders, after Vice President JD Vance made a similar link. French authorities have not tied immigrants to the rioting, and protesters' stated demands centred on living costs, schools and public services.
Why it matters: Indian readers see how a major Western leader frames migration and unrest, a debate that echoes in Indian discussion on borders, identity and cost of living.
Based on 13 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 2 of 15 (Hindustan Times, Aaj Tak). Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.
All outlets score Centre or near it with Neutral stance; they differ mainly on whether they include the Trump and Vance claims and on how much they stress looting versus grievances.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: Mostly reports Trump and Vance's immigration-blame statements, but notes protesters' demands were about prices and services. Touches identity and security themes with balanced context, so it sits at the centre edge.
Why: Reports Trump and Vance's immigration claims alongside French officials' differing account and the economic grievances behind the protests. Balanced sourcing, little loaded wording, so the score sits at centre.
Why: Foreign news report on looting and arrests in France with no Indian policy angle. It relays official and union figures and media accounts without taking a side.
Why: A short roundup of mixed headlines, reported in neutral wording with both official and opposition voices. Little ideological framing; the electoral-roll and OCI items are relayed without taking a side.
Why: Frames French cost-of-living protests as a 'left-Islamist' threat to public order and national identity, with loaded terms, an embedded tweet and Le Pen's view prominent. This is a strong cultural-nationalist and security framing.
Why: Foreign unrest story with a cost-of-living and public-services angle; reports both protester grievances and government law-and-order claims evenly, so only a faint lean toward welfare and labour concerns.
Why: Foreign news report on French protests over cost of living and school conditions, with no Indian policy angle. It relays official figures and Macron's statement without taking a side.
Why: Foreign unrest report with no Indian policy angle; it summarises protester grievances and the French government's response without taking a side, so no clear ideological lean.
Why: Foreign news report on French unrest with no Indian policy angle; relays government, opposition and local officials evenly in neutral wording.
Why: Foreign story about French protests and arrests with no Indian policy angle; it relays the French minister's account in neutral wire language, so it is not ideologically scored.
Why: Foreign news report on unrest in France with no Indian policy angle or ideological framing; relays French minister's figures and press reports without commentary.
Why: Foreign protest report on inflation and public services. It gives government, opposition left and right, and business voices evenly, with no Indian policy slant, so it sits at the centre.
Why: Foreign story about French unrest and Macron's address; no Indian ideological dimension and no Indian government angle. Plain report of a presidential speech.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:

A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing.
