What every side reports

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has died, and funeral ceremonies are being held over two days, beginning in Washington, D.C., before services in South Carolina. World leaders, including Israeli PM Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, are set to attend, and President Trump is involved in the events and related meetings.

Where the framing diverges

All three leans report the same core event, but emphasize different aspects. Left outlets frame Graham primarily through his political identity and closeness to Trump, and note the presence of foreign leaders. Center outlets emphasize the diplomatic significance of the gathering and provide biographical detail about Graham's death and record, describing him with terms like 'war hawk.' Coverage differs mainly in the added descriptors and which element (logistics, diplomacy, or Graham's ideology) is foregrounded.
