Court tosses killer's sentence over AI video of slain man
NBC News can recount the judge's praise and the sister's AI script and still never mention that Arizona had no prior case on a generated victim at sentencing, so the reversal lands as a personality story rather than a first limit on invented speech.

Bloomberg never reports that Merz told Putin Germany is ready to talk. Breitbart does, which is the difference between reading the Kyiv trip as a show of force and reading it as force plus an opening for talks.
JD Vance Builds MAHA and H-1B Reform Connections for 2028
OAN printed Vance's NBC remark that midterm results will shape a 2028 run. The Guardian never mentions that interview, so its readers never hear him put the decision off until November.
