What the coverage shows

NBC News treats Stallone’s memoir and recent TV appearances as the main frame, with one clip centered on his first-ever memoir and another on Carson Daly’s childhood memories of Rocky. Fox News more directly foregrounds Stallone’s own account of struggle, highlighting bulimia in one item and, in the later one, the advice and motto he says he lives by and his stated reason for writing The Steps. Only Fox’s extract explicitly says he wrote the book so his children could understand his journey.
