SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYThe New York Post is an established national outlet with attributed reporting, but its tabloid style and uneven reputation warrant a score below the strongest national news organizations.
- Source type — Established national publisher, tempered by a tabloid format.
- Author attribution — The article names a reporter and attributes key claims to lawyers and a court filing.
- Transparency — It identifies the parties’ competing accounts and notes that a spokesperson did not respond.
The article attributes disputed claims to the relevant attorneys, includes Miller’s denial and his attorney’s response, and refers to a court filing. Its brief account offers limited context and little direct comment from Miller or his ex-wife.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article presents the ex-wife’s attorneys’ concerns alongside Miller’s denial and his attorney’s response. The account is brief and offers limited direct comment from the parties.
- Counterarguments presented — Miller denies the abuse allegations, and his attorney disputes the characterization of the image.
- Source diversity — The article cites attorneys on both sides and a court filing, but few other sources.
- Omitted context — The short account leaves the underlying allegations and custody dispute largely unexplored.
The article uses some sensational language, but its framing and attributed accounts do not show a clear left- or right-leaning direction.
- Language tone — Some wording is dramatic, but it is not distinctly partisan.
- Source selection — The article includes statements from attorneys on both sides of the dispute.
- Framing — The focus is the disclosure and competing accounts, not a party-political argument.
Rep. Max Miller’s attorney said he was responsible for accidentally including a shirtless photo of Miller’s young daughter in files Miller released while denying abuse allegations. Lawyers for Miller’s ex-wife objected to the image and to the disclosure of the child’s name.
Miller released the files during a Sunday livestream, where he denied abusing his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, or their child. His attorney, Aaron Minc, said he alone assembled and reviewed the files and described the photo’s inclusion as an unintentional mistake.
Moreno’s attorneys raised concerns about the image and said the files had been accessed more than 204,000 times; Minc disputed their description of the image. The article also reports that Miller and Moreno are in a custody dispute and that Miller denies her abuse allegations.

26 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Representative Max Miller is denying abuse allegations made by his ex-wife, vowing to stay in his reelection race, while the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into him. Left-leaning outlets portray Miller's denials as backfiring and scrutinize Republican reactions to the controversy. Center outlets focus on the ethics probe, the political risk to the Ohio seat, and the dispute over released defense files. Right-leaning outlets center on Miller's public defense while criticizing his media appearances and his lawyer's release of sensitive family records.
