Left-leaning outlets report the divorce filing in a straightforward, factual manner, noting Noem's prior government roles and her husband's occupation without added commentary. The right-leaning outlet frames the story more dramatically, introducing emotionally charged descriptors about the husband's reported feelings and appearance, suggesting tension or a possible threat related to the divorce, and characterizing Noem's departure from her DHS role in a more negative light.
