This study identifies and examines the framing patterns in the U.S.
right-wing media coverage of the President Donald Trump
administration’s ban on immigrants from seven predominantly
Muslim countries. The study is directed by one research question:
How did the right-wing media frame the ban on Muslim immigrants?
A total of 53 articles (news stories, features, and opinion pieces) from
two right-wing U.S. media outlets, Daily Caller and Breitbart News,
were identified and included in the analysis. Framing theory served
as a framework for the analysis of the data. Findings of this study
show that the right-wing media used negative frames for Muslim
immigrants. The media organizations framed Muslims immigrants as
a threat to the United States’ national security, a threat to the social
well-being of the communities, and fundamentalists who do not want
to integrate into the local culture. These media outlets also
incorrectly framed European countries as anti-immigrant and
portrayed Muslim immigrants as a source of turmoil in Europe .
