Trump suggests those who leak government information should ‘be shot’
The US president has long been unhappy with inside information about his administration being leaked to the media.
What the coverage shows
NBC News and Al Jazeera both foreground Trump’s quoted call for leakers to “be shot,” with NBC using “government officials who leak to the media” and Al Jazeera saying “those who leak government information.” The difference is slight: NBC’s extract adds that the administration has repeatedly sought to crack down on leaks, while Al Jazeera’s extract says only that the president has long been unhappy about information from his administration being leaked.
