Wouldn’t “neutral” mean you could swap headlines and photos and still have the same emotional response (because that is the aim of propaganda, to illicit an emotional response)?
I don’t think this would garner the same response if it was switched.
It is subtle propaganda (apparently), but biased propaganda none the less.
I wouldn’t say it’s neutral, but the differences are well established differences. The right is usually stronger and firmer in their facts and communications. The left (or just slightly less right) is usually softer and opener in their acts and communications. These are not biases. These are general accepted associations and could probably be factually backed with their political agenda’s . I think these headlines follow those general connotations.
To be fair, they do have to come up with a relatively unique title for each article and neither of these titles are particularly extreme. It could be argued that these are unbiased and they just need to market it to a world with no attention span.
What would be more telling is the content of the articles themselves. Which, if human nature is anything to go by, are almost certainly quite biased.
