NBC News report alleges Sean Combs receives special treatment and contraband at Fort Dix prison
An NBC News report citing four anonymous former inmates alleges Sean "Diddy" Combs pays fellow inmates for cooking, cleaning, and massages, uses contraband cellphones, and drinks smuggled liquor at FCI Fort Dix. Combs's spokesperson dismissed the scrutiny as treating ordinary prison life as news. The Bureau of Prisons said contraband remains a constant challenge without addressing Combs specifically.

The split, in one line
Most outlets relay the same NBC report with similar outrage, but Breitbart stands apart by arguing nothing listed is even a little bit illegal and questioning why the Diddy Outrage Machine cares about prisoner comfort.
