    The reporting doesn’t seem remarkably different, so let’s look at the part most people see. Only The Headline.

    Meta CEO admits Biden-Harris admin pressured company to censor Americans

    vs.

    Mark Zuckerberg says Meta was ‘pressured’ by Biden administration to censor Covid-related content in 2021

    I can see three things immediately that mark one as much-less-preferable than the other. I assume you can too?

    Meta CEO ADMITS Biden**-Harris** admin pressured company to CENSOR AMERICANS

    It’s written that way for a specific reason, and it’s not a Good Reason.

      They’re different, but I don’t see that one is less preferable than the other. The Fox News headline includes Harris’ name, while CNN omits it and is more specific about why the admin was trying to censor Americans. I don’t know that granularity at this scale is anything to split hairs over, honestly.
