The left outlet centers the story on the family's personal reaction to the controversy, framing it around their perspective and the legacy of Miller as a 'war hero.' The center outlet frames the story more procedurally, focusing on the Navy's decision-making process and identifying Miller specifically as a 'Pearl Harbor hero,' with less emphasis on personal reaction.
