What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on the judge’s order against federal pressure on election officials, and both frame it as a restriction on threatening or intimidating conduct. NBC News is broader, describing the order as aimed at the Trump administration amid pre-election pressure tactics, while CBS News is more specific, saying the government had been demanding that California officials separate out ballots and threatening criminal prosecution for noncompliance.
