- Framing
- Both outlets carry the same Reuters report, led by Bolsonaro's announcement of Cury's endorsement and the first-round numbers; no outlet-specific commentary.
- Emphasis
- The endorsement, Cury's non-aligned positioning, other candidates' stances and, in Arab News, the Datafolha poll.
- Leaves out or plays down
- The Straits Times copy omits the Datafolha poll. Neither includes comment from Lula's campaign or Cury beyond the video.
