Analysis

Compare how each side frames the story — including which facts they emphasize or leave out.

Center-leaning sources emphasize public order and conflict by leading with curfew and 'intense clashes,' foregrounding official statements about 'masked individuals' and 'violent riots.' Editorial choices — limited direct protester voices, repeated focus on barricades and police response, and selection of law-enforcement framing — tilt coverage toward safety and authority concerns while reporting protesters' grievances as background.
