What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as a trial update, but Fox News is the only one to foreground “bombshell evidence” and to mention AI-generated love songs and more than 100,000 text messages. 60 Minutes instead highlights a mistress reading texts in court and quotes “I want to kill her,” while Ben Shapiro’s headline is the most generic and its extract only offers a promo-style tease.
Written by Crossfiled from the 3 headlines and extracts below, not from the articles themselves. It describes how the outlets framed this, not what happened. Open any headline for a summary of that article.
