Inflation climbs in September as energy prices soar, CPI report shows

What the coverage shows

All four outlets center the same frame: inflation rose in September alongside surging gas or energy prices, with Axios and ABC News leading on the inflation data itself and 60 Minutes adding that it came in above economists’ predictions. Breaking Points is the outlier, using the CPI report as a hook for a midterms angle in the headline, while its extract shifts away from inflation to a discussion of Vermont’s governor race.
