Memphis City Council devolves into chaos after data center moratorium vote postponed
Memphis City Council delayed a vote on a data center moratorium as protesters chanted, police cleared the chamber and a fight broke out in the lobby.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on the Memphis City Council meeting and the postponed vote on a data center moratorium. Fox News frames the coverage around disorder, highlighting protesters chanting, police clearing the chamber, and a fight in the lobby, while ABC News uses a broader protest framing and is the only one to note that the postponement would push the vote to later in October.
