How the framing differs
Right-leaning outlets such as BizPac Review, The Daily Caller, and WorldNetDaily frame the deployment around political figures and turning up heat on cartels. Fox News, also rated Right, specifies that the troops are heading to Panama for jungle training. The Left-rated New York Times highlights the historical context of U.S. intervention in the region, while the Center-rated NewsNation focuses on the terrain and the soldiers' firsthand experience in jungle environments.
