New York Post : Deadly suicide blast rips through Pakistan train route, killing at least 23
The BLA is portrayed as fundamentally corrupt, immoral, and illegitimate
The article quotes officials using dehumanizing and morally absolute language ('savagery', 'cowardly', 'heinous') to describe the group’s actions, with no effort to contextualize or balance the portrayal, resulting in a framing of total moral illegitimacy.
“The terrorists of Fitna Al-Hindustan are proving their savagery by targeting innocent civilians, women, and children”
Fox News : Deadly suicide blast rips through Pakistan train route, killing at least 23

“Such cowardly acts of terrorism cannot weaken the resolve of the people of Pakistan”
