What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same basic frame: a New York Times report about alleged efforts tied to Mary Peltola’s camp and party allies to recruit a second Dan Sullivan, followed by scrutiny from Alaska officials and now the Justice Department. CBS, NBC, Fox, 60 Minutes and CNBC all foreground the investigation angle, while the New York Times focuses more on the ballot-strategy reporting itself. NPR is the outlier, since its extracts shift away from the subpoena story and instead emphasize Alaska’s race and fishing as a major issue.
