Trump landed in Ankara on Tuesday for the NATO summit and immediately let allies have it: called European countries disloyal for not backing his Iran operation, floated pulling a third of US troops out of Europe, and said Turkey "frankly has been more helpful to the United States than many other more traditional countries." * Fox's headline for all that: "Trump arrives at NATO summit as Iran rift looms above alliance talks." A rift... looms. Like weather. Nobody's doing anything to anybody, it's just sort of hovering up there. * RT — yes, that RT, Russian state media, an outlet with an obvious rooting interest in NATO looking shaky — went with: "NATO summit opens with Trump threats." Active verb. Active subject. No ambiguity about who's doing what to whom. * NPR landed in the same place from a completely different political direction: "Trump's NATO pressure campaign continues as summit begins." Pressure campaign — also a person doing a thing, not weather. * So a Kremlin broadcaster and American public radio, two outlets that agree on approximately nothing, both described this plainly as Trump applying pressure on allies. Fox, covering its own president, found the one framing where nobody's the subject and nothing's actually being threatened. * We're not saying Fox owes Trump a harsher headline. We're saying it's a little funny that the network built to sell you his version of events got out-blunted, on bluntness, by state TV from Moscow.
