Without the four-day mark before Minnesota early voting, The Hill's Hatch Act story cannot explain what the complaint is even about.

NBC News never tells readers that Mitchell can now vote. Fox News does, and it is the only outlet that reports she will keep Canadian citizenship.

The Verge reports a $59 standalone remote that works with old Apple TVs. Right-leaning coverage does not mention that option.

Joe Rogan's warning that Trump voters feel betrayed never appears in The Hill's Iran story, which instead follows the president wondering who is left to talk to. Fox News runs the warning and skips those Montana remarks.

Alexander Brothers Face Life in Prison for Sex Trafficking
