See the framing, then strip it
Here is how one outlet opened its report. Switch the framing off to see what is left.
President Donald Trump will welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House Tuesday for talks that could shape the next phase of the U.S. standoff with Iran. A political shadow is cast over the visit, however, amid renewed calls from the far-left to arrest the Israeli leader.
What every outlet agreed on
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. The meeting takes place amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and tensions in the U.S.-Israel relationship.
NPR described the meeting as a chance for Netanyahu to 'smooth out strains' in their relationship. Politico framed the meeting through the lens of Trump allies fearing it will pull the U.S. deeper into war with Iran. Fox News highlighted 'far-left' calls to arrest Netanyahu as a political shadow over the visit. Axios characterized Netanyahu as arriving 'weaker and less influential' than in previous meetings and cited diverging interests and 'bad blood.' Bloomberg described both leaders as facing 'a slew of worries.' We keep contested points like this in attributed form rather than stating them as settled fact.
