How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across all three outlets, with a bias spread of exactly 0.0 points. Rather than ideological framing, each outlet emphasized a different angle of the same factual business event. Reuters and CNBC both focused on the financial mechanics of the deal itself — Reuters describing how Qualcomm "strikes AI chip deal with Amazon" and "offers right to buy about $4 billion in stock," while CNBC zeroed in on the instrument involved, noting that Qualcomm "issues warrants to Amazon to acquire $4 billion worth of chipmaker's stock." MarketWatch took a market-reaction angle, noting that "Qualcomm's stock climbs" and framing the deal as offering "investors much-needed good news" — language that is still factual and market-descriptive rather than ideologically loaded. No outlet introduced political framing, value-laden adjectives, or partisan context.
