What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the inquiry’s criticism of government failings in care homes, with BBC News and Channel 4 News both highlighting the “spread like wildfire” finding. BBC News adds detail that the sixth report criticises the lack of PPE and the discharge of patients from hospital. Channel 4 News is the only outlet here to foreground the line that care homes were “an afterthought.”
