• ▸Omitted context — It gives little detail on why the comments might be unlawful or what process the review entails.
• ▸Loaded language — The language is largely attributed or descriptive rather than overtly evaluative.

• ▸Language tone — Mostly descriptive language, with the headline’s hard-deadline wording reflecting the reported action.
• ▸Source selection — Reports the department’s action and includes Kelly’s response; some interview details are attributed to Fox News.
• ▸Framing — Centers the review and presents competing claims without a clear editorial verdict.
