High factuality (mean credibility of the reporting outlets)
How outlets framed it
Left: NPR and AP News report that Nicolás Maduro and his wife are seeking to dismiss drug trafficking charges based on immunity.
Center: The Washington Post frames Nicolás Maduro's move as an attempt to fend off a narco-terrorism trial by arguing for immunity.
Right: Fox News highlights that Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores are using sovereign immunity as a defense against narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges.
Key divergence: While all sources agree on the core legal argument of immunity, Fox News and The Washington Post use more charged language like 'narco-terrorism' and 'deposed leader' respectively, suggesting a more critical framing than NPR and AP News.
