What the coverage shows
All four outlets center the same campaign ad and Amy Acton’s response or condemnation of it. NBC News and CNN foreground Acton’s reaction, while Reason frames the story as Ramaswamy defending the ad. The Associated Press is the only outlet to emphasize an analyst’s warning that the ad could backfire and to note the campaign’s planned spending and bipartisan rebuke.
