Its most common framing is neutral (44% of events, followed by critical at 35%). In 42% of the events it covers, The Guardian takes a framing no other outlet in the cluster shares, one of the higher contrarian rates we track. Coverage concentrates on politics and war.

Measured across shared events, The Guardian frames stories most like The Telegraph (71%), Mother Jones (57%) and BBC (51%), and least like Defense One (0% agreement).
