Left-leaning outlets tend to emphasize…
characterize the location as a 'vibrant' area and explicitly label the events under the category of 'gun violence.'
Right-leaning outlets tend to emphasize…
place the Dallas events within a broader national trend of weekend violence in nightlife districts and emphasize the 'unacceptable' nature of the crime through police quotes.
Centrist outlets tend to focus on…
