The globe was especially notable because it had green pen or marker notations where Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower marked areas in Europe, three U.S. officials said.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same basic episode: Hegseth’s staff damaged a historic World War II-era globe associated with Eisenhower while moving it toward his office. The Hill’s headline and extract emphasize that the team dropped it and include the reported size and source attribution, while NBC News adds a detail found only in its extract, saying the globe had green notations marking areas in Europe.
