Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.

Centre2 outlets
- Framing
- Both centre outlets give a market-close report. CNA leads on a recovery from a shaky start as AI-share pressure eased. Anadolu leads on tech losses offset by gains in other sectors, and adds macro data, bond yields and European markets.
- Emphasis
- Index moves, inflation and retail data, the AI-stock selloff and its effect on Treasury yields, and the upcoming Fed Chairman speech.
- Leaves out or plays down
- CNA's text gives little beyond the lede. Anadolu's report contradicts itself on the direction of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, and the coverage does not resolve this.
- Charged language
- “bounced back”“shaky start”“down sharply”
- For example
