What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on the same basic setup: an Ohio governor’s race ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother calling her a liar. NBC News is the only one to foreground Acton’s condemnation of the ad, while The New York Times emphasizes the ad as part of an increasingly ugly race and adds that the two have not spoken since a family dispute described in its extract. The Hill’s two items are closest to a straight description of the video, with one also noting Acton’s brother’s reaction.
