How the outlets framed one event, laid side by side

When the desk finds a story the outlets agree on but frame apart, it logs each outlet’s angle as a verbatim doorway — the exact words that decide how you are meant to feel before you reach the verb. On each piece those doorways sit in the lead as a spectrum; here they are gathered across every coverage brief, one fan per story, so the choices line up next to each other. The desk renders no verdict on which frame is right — that is your call, and the whole point. Every line below is the outlet’s own, quoted verbatim, linked to the audit it came from.
