The split, in one line
All three outlets report the same $300M valuation and assets involved. The framing differs subtly: CNN emphasizes Murdoch's opportunity to grow his portfolio and his break from family, while the NY Post flags the deal as a shakeup in digital media. The WSJ headline is straightforward without editorial angle.
