Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Newt Gingrich and others call for Norah O'Donnell's firing after she read shooting suspect's manifesto on 60 Minutes
CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell read portions of an alleged manifesto written by Cole Allen, 31, who was charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump after allegedly rushing a security checkpoint at the WHCA dinner while armed. During a 60 Minutes interview with Trump, O'Donnell read lines from the manifesto and asked the president to respond. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the act 'disgusting and inhumane demagoguery' and said O'Donnell should be fired.

The split, in one line
All three outlets echo the same condemnation, but Breitbart frames O'Donnell as elevating a terrorist and demands firing, while The Hill and Examiner focus on Gingrich's criticism with the Examiner adding fuller factual context about the charges and interview.
