Public Interest Media Focus:

Analysis: Coverage splits sharply along interest lines. Elite media headlines like “Lethal US strike sinks narco-terrorist vessel” center government power and investor-friendly defense spending, framing Trump as economic savior. Public outlets lead with “House Rejects Resolutions Seeking Congressional Approval,” prioritizing democratic checks and marginalized groups like Gaza infants dying in cold or denaturalized immigrants.
